Abstract

Osteoporosis is reflected by low bone mineral density (BMD) at central Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) as well as clinical complications like low-trauma or spontaneous fractures. While typical primary osteoporosis is menopause-related, among the secondary causes of osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is listed for children, teenagers and adults. Underlining more than 17 mutations, and a heterogeneous clinical presentation, decreased BMD is associated with multiple fractures and impaired peak bone mass with lifelong effects.
