Take away: Getting a TBS done at the time of DEXA could be a more valuable assessment of osteoporotic risk fracture than DEXA alone.

Purpose Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a grey-level textural measurement acquired from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry lumbar spine images and is a validated index of bone microarchitecture. In 2015, a Working Group of the European Society on Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarth...

Collagen supplements: "And a 2018 study, published in the journal Nutrients, looked at the effect of collagen on bone density in postmenopausal women. Those who took a 5-gram collagen supplement had significant increases in the spine and neck vs. those who got a placebo. (The study was partly funded by a supplement manufacturer.)"

Here are important points about this protein and the anti-aging supplements.
