Osteoporosis is defined as “a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by a low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a subsequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture” [1]. The current gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis is the assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) by using a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (DXA). In 2019, the prevalence of osteoporosis in Europe was estimated at 32.0 million people; 5.6% of the total population [2].
