Osteoporosis, a common bone disease in older adults, is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of fractures. While fracture risk is often assessed using T-scores derived from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, these measures are not fully effective in identif...
