Are high serum POSTN levels associated with increased fracture risk in postmenopausal women?
Are high serum POSTN levels associated with increased fracture risk in postmenopausal women?
High serum POSTN levels are independently associated with increased fracture risk in postmenopausal women, suggesting its utility in fracture risk assessment.
May support POSTN for fracture risk assessment in postmenopausal women; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
High serum POSTN levels are independently associated with increased fracture risk in postmenopausal women. These data suggest that serum POSTN could be useful to improve fracture risk assessment.
