Fracture and fall history

これは何か

A history of low-trauma fracture, repeated falls, height loss, or vertebral compression changes is an outcome signal, not just a background detail.^[1,2]

なぜ重要か

Bone strength is judged by whether bone breaks under ordinary loads. A clean-looking number can miss fall risk, vertebral fracture, or inherited fragility context.^[1]

どの判断に影響するか

• A fracture after a low-energy fall can shift the clinical meaning of BMD and T-score.^[1]
• In children and adolescents, fracture history is part of the osteoporosis definition; densitometry alone is not enough.^[2]

解釈上の注意

• Trauma level, age, location, medication exposure, and underlying disease change interpretation.^[2]
