Lower Trabecular Bone Score is Associated With the Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors

Introduction: Trabecular bone score (TBS) provides indirect indices of trabecular microarchitecture and bone quality. Several studies have evaluated the influence of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on bone mass and geometric parameters, but no studies have evaluated the influence of PPIs on TBS. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 1505 women aged 40 –89 yr who had bone mineral density (BMD) examinations as a part of the medical diagnosis and disease prevention program and who did not have osteoporotic fractures or conditions that could affect bone metabolism.
