Bone Quality 2004 June 2004
Old Definition of Osteoporosis A systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Conference Report from the Consensus Development Conference. Am J Med 94: 646 -650, 1993 June 2004
Relationship Between BMD and Fracture • Low baseline bone mineral density (BMD) predicts increased risk of subsequent fractures • The magnitude of the increases in BMD with antiresorptive therapies differs greatly, yet the vertebral fracture risk reductions are similar • There is only a weak relationship between changes in BMD with antiresorptive therapy and the reduction in risk of new fractures June 2004
What May Contribute to an Increase in BMD? • Improvements in mineral and matrix composition • Increased bone tissue per unit of bone volume: • Filling in remodeling space • Widening existing trabeculae • Creating new trabeculae • Increased bone size June 2004

BMD Change and Fracture Risk Reduction with Antiresorptive Therapy • Fracture Risk decreases by 6 -12 months, before maximum BMD response has occurred • Treatment may reduce fracture risk with little or no change in BMD • From regression analyses, only a small proportion of fracture risk reduction is attributable to an increase in BMD June 2004

Many Characteristics of Bone Strength Are Not Reflected in DXA Results • Reflected in DXA Measurements: • Bone size • Trabecular volume and cortical thickness • Amount of mineralization in bone and surrounding tissues • Not Reflected in DXA Measurements: • Trabecular connectivity and number • Matrix quality (collagen, mineral) • Microscopic damage (e. g. microcracks) • Bone geometry June 2004
Current Definition of Osteoporosis is defined as a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk of fracture. Bone strength primarily reflects the integration of bone density and bone quality. Normal bone Osteoporosis NIH Consensus Development Panel on Osteoporosis JAMA 285: 785 -95; 2001 June 2004
