Study context
- Population
- Patients with BMD measurement by DXA at AUBMC Calcium Metabolism and Osteoporosis program who received anti-resorptive drugs for a cumulative ≥3 years, current or discontinued within past 5 years
- Participants
- 948 patients
- Outcome
- Prevalence of findings in the spectrum of AFF using full-length femur imaging (FFI) by single energy X-rays
