Association between Parkinson's disease and low bone density and falls in older men: The osteoporotic fractures in men study

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.
