QCT-based spatio-temporal aging atlas of the proximal femur BMD and cortical geometry
Aging is associated with an increased risk of fragility fractures at the hip, resulting from a loss of bone mass.While this loss is typically reported as a decreased mean areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in the proximal femur or the femoral neck, its evolution is spatially inhomogeneous, which might also contribute to the increased risk of fractur
