Many fractures occur in individuals without osteoporosis defined by areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Inclusion of other aspects of skeletal strength may be useful in identifying at‐risk subjects. We used surrogate measures of bone strength at the radius and tibia measured by peripheral quantitativ...
