Key Points

To assess bone mineral density (BMD) in older individuals with non-traumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) and compare with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI).
BMD evaluation focused on the lumbar spine area.
Participants included individuals aged 50 years and older.
Assessment of risk factors for spinal cord injury conducted.
BMD evaluation in NTSCI highlights the lumbar region as critical.
Risk factors for spinal cord injury necessitate regular BMD monitoring.

Implication

Evaluation reveals the need for bone mineral density assessment in older individuals with non-traumatic spinal cord injury, suggesting important monitoring practices.
