Introduction: Klinefelter syndrome patients (KS) frequently show low bone mass, which could have multiple aetiologies. The structural basis of low bone mass and its consequences on bone strength are almost not known, but analogies in bone microstructure and strength between KS and ageing women have proposed by studying distal tibia by HRpQCT. The aim of this study was to compare proximal femur strength and bone structure of KS with elderly women and men....
