Inclusion Criteria

Study population: postmenopausal women between 50-59 years of age who receive aromatase inhibitor therapy due to hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and receive a bone density measurement within the first 3 months.

Control group: healthy, postmenopausal women between 50-59 years of age receiving bone density measurement.

Exclusion Criteria

Women younger than 50 or older than 59 years,
premenopausal women,
women who receive a specific antiosteoporotic therapy,

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
All patients receive a structured questionnaire in which the FRAX criteria and the most important risk factors of osteoporosis are assessed. It will be investigated whether patients with breast cancer show a difference in bone density and thus in fracture risk compared to healthy women. The differences in FRAX score, TBS and TBS adjusted FRAX score are measured within a period of 3 months after the start of aromatase inhibitor therapy.
