Better Skeletal Microstructure Confers Greater Mechanical Advantages in Chinese-American Women Versus White Women

Despite lower areal bone mineral density (aBMD), Chinese-American women have fewer fractures than white women. We hypothesized that better skeletal microstructure in Chinese-American women in part could account for this paradox. Individual trabecula segmentation (ITS), a novel image-analysis techniq...
