Bone density and fragility fractures in patients with developmental disabilities

, , , and . Osteoporosis International, (2008)

Abstract

We investigated prior fractures, osteoporosis risk factors, and bone mineral density (BMD) in 107 institutionalized adults with developmental disabilities. We found a very high prevalence of BMD in the osteoporotic range and a significant correlation between lower BMD and prior fragility fractures.
