Cortical Bone

Postmenopausal women assigned denosumab have increases in mineral to matrix ratio at the cortical and cancellous bone at 2 to 3 years, but changes were not observed beyond 5 years, according to study findings.

Older men with higher bone mineral density and preserved cortical bone are less likely to experience a major adverse coronary event, according to a study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
