The goals of this study were to determine whether bone density measured using CT (CTBD) can show significant differences in bone loss according to smoking status and pack-years, and to examine the correlation between CTBD and bone mineral density when measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA-BMD) in males without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this cross-sectional study, 1,011 males without airflow obstruction ≥50 years old were included. CTBD and DEXA-BMD were compar ...[more]
