World health organization (WHO) has defined osteoporosis clinically on the basis of bone mineral density (BMD) measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan and the presence of fractures. This facility is expensive and not readily available in majority of the centers in India. The authors have attempted to study defined measurements on radiographs (radiogrammetric parameters) to diagnose osteoporosis in Indian population.
