Cohort study shows that peripheral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is of limit...
Martins, Ana; Monjardino, Teresa; Canhão, Helena; Lucas, RaquelAim: Peripheral methods are increasingly used to assess bone health, despite little evidence on their predictive ability. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of forearm dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in prepubertal children, by estimating the agreement between peripheral and central measures and the ability to predict fracture history. Methods: In 2012/2014, we assessed 1177 seven-year-old children from the G...

Marques, Andréa; Maria Rodrigues, Ana; Romeu, José Carlos; Ruano, Afonso; Barbosa, Ana Paula; Simões, Eugénia; Águas, Fernanda; Canhão, HelenaObjective: To establish Portuguese recommendations regarding the indications for ordering bone densitometry measurement to (DXA) and for starting treatment to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Methods: A multidisciplinary panel, representing a wide range of medical specialties and patient associations related to osteoporosis, as well as national experts in this field and in health economics, met to develop recomm...

A FRAX model for the estimation of osteoporotic fracture probability in Portugal.
Marques, Andréa; Mota, António; Canhão, Helena; Romeu, José Carlos; Machado, Pedro; Ruano, Afonso; Barbosa, Ana Paula; Dias, António ArosoThe objective of this study was to develop a Portuguese version of the World Health Organization fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX®). All cases of hip fracture occurred at or after 40 years of age were extracted from the Portuguese National Hospital Discharge Register from 2006 to 2010. Age and sex-ranked population estimates and mortality rates were obtained from National Statistics. Age- and gender stratifi...
