Bone mass density and beta cross laps have been recognized as valid tests for the diagnostic and treatment control, as well as fracture prediction for osteoporotic patients. Statin treatment has been reported to be associated with a reduced risk fracture in these patients also. However, no studies, as of our knowledge, have tried to see if adding the lipid profile to the analysis of body mass density would improve the statistical power of prediction for any of the afore mentio...
