This study reported a reduced BMD and an increased prevalence of fragility fractures among Bahraini subjects. The highest frequencies of fragility fractures among our cohort were foot/ankle, vertebral, and hip fractures, respectively. We showed a statistically significant association between fragility fractures and BMD. The current study indicated that not only patients with low BMD but also patients with fragility fractures were undertreated. Thus, the immediate initiation of treatment and the synthesis of local osteoporosis treatment guidelines are warranted.
