RESUMEN
La masa ósea disminuye y el riesgo de fracturas aumenta con la edad, especialmente en la posmenopausia. Las fracturas vertebrales son las fracturas osteoporóticas más frecuentes, y se asocian a deformidad de columna, reducción de estatura, dolor de espalda, dificultad respiratoria, morbilidad y mortalidad aumentadas; y pueden predecir futuras fracturas vertebrales y de cadera.
