Association between Parkinson's disease and low bone density and falls in older men: The osteoporotic fractures in men study
Article Abstract:
Research made to determine the association between Parkinson's disease and Low Bone Density and Falls in older men resulted in Osteoporotic Fractures. By using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) analyses that reduced fracture risks in fracture- related disability these older men can be screened.
