Asma Arabi, et al. - Femoral neck BMD showed the highest OR for each S.D. decrease in BMD for identifying subjects with VF, and the best predictability for prevalent VF using ROC. Fracture risk prediction did not increase by adding the spine to the hip measurement. In conclusion, hip BMD was the only and best skeletal site needed to detect subjects with osteoporosis and showed the strongest relationship with prevalent vertebral fractures in elderly subjects Bone
