Parental history of osteoporosis is associated with an increased risk of fracture. However, there are not many data on the mechanism of action.Our objective was to determine if heredity influences fracture rate: independently or through the bone mineral density; to identify also the strongest independent risk factors of osteoporotic fractures among our study population.
