Osteoporosis is associated with incident vertebral fracture in humans (Heavy smoking (≥30 pack-years); osteoporosis versus normal bone mass) (Adjusted RR 3.40 (95% CI 2.69–4.30); incidence 5.9% versus 0.9%).

Lower bone density on lung scans linked to spine fractures

Over two years, spine fractures occurred in 0.9% of participants with normal bone mass, 2.0% with low bone mass and 5.9% with osteoporosis.Over two years, spine fractures occurred in 0.9% of participants with normal bone mass, 2.0% with low bone mass and 5.9% with osteoporosis.
