Sex
Female
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Yes

Inclusion Criteria

  • post-menopausal women : 50-90 years old
  • Group 1 (cases) : occurence of incident major osteoporotic fracture less than 12 months
  • Group 2 (controls) : no history of fragility fracture

Exclusion Criteria

  • Implants that are contraindicated for the magnetic resonance (MR) examination.
  • Implants that might create a health risk or other problem during an MR exam include: 1) cardiac pacemaker or implantable defibrillator, 2) catheter that has metal components that may pose a risk of a burn injury, 3) a ferromagnetic metal clip placed to prevent bleeding from an intracranial aneurysm, 4) an implanted medication pump (such as that used to deliver insulin or a pain-relieving drug), and 5) a cochlear implant.
  • body mass index [BMI] >38 kg/m2, weight >140 kg
  • Disease or current use of medications known to affect bone density, including oral glucocorticoids, treatments for osteoporosis (bisphosphonates, raloxifene, calcitonin, or PTH), hormone therapy.
  • Chronic kidney disease with DFG <30 ml/mn

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Secondary Outcomes

  • Bone mineral density at lumbar spine(24 months)
  • Bone marrow fat content at total hip(24 months)
