This study aims to evaluate the added value of trabecular bone score (TBS) in assessing fracture risk among Polish women aged 40–76.
Included 933 Caucasian women (760 without fracture, 173 with fracture) who underwent DXA scans
Analyzed lumbar TBS, BMD, and clinical fracture risk factors
Used logistic regression to assess TBS and BMD as fracture discrimination tools
TBS values were significantly lower in the fracture group, p < 0.001
Low TBS (≤1.23) associated with 28.8% fracture prevalence and increased fracture risk (odds ratio = 3.0)
Models combining TBS and BMD improved fracture risk discrimination, with TBS as an independent predictor

Randomized trial evaluates fracture risk in Polish women, suggesting TBS enhances osteoporosis diagnosis.

Jaszczyk et al. (2026) studied this question.
