Table 3 Relationship between bone mineral density and fragility fracture. There was a significant difference in frontal or lateral T-scores and young adult mean between the patients with and without fragility fractures.
| With fracture n=19 | Without fracture n=26 | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lumbar Frontal T score | −2.56±1.02 | −1.38±1.48 | <0.01 |
| Lumbar Frontal YAM | 70.67±13.09 | 86.24±16.10 | <0.01 |
| Lumbar Lateral T score | −4.00±1.31 | 2.48±1.09 | <0.01 |
| Lumbar Lateral YAM | 61.93±12.17 | 78.55±10.71 | <0.01 |
