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
Lumbar Frontal T score	−2.56±1.02	−1.38±1.48
Lumbar Frontal YAM	70.67±13.09	86.24±16.10
Lumbar Lateral T score	−4.00±1.31	2.48±1.09
Lumbar Lateral YAM	61.93±12.17	78.55±10.71
