BMI-dependent association between mammographic breast density and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women using automated density assessment

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between automated mammographic breast density (MBD) and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, particularly examining how this association varies with body mass index (BMI). Their findings indicate that higher MBD is linked to lower odds of osteoporosis, with a more pronounced effect observed in women with higher BMI. Despite these insights, the addition of MBD to models based on age and BMI did not significantly enhance predictive accuracy for osteoporosis.
