Gender differences in the association between anemia and osteoporosis: findings from a large-scale prospective analysis

Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by a gradual onset and an increased susceptibility to osteoporotic fractures. Previous retrospective studies have suggested that hemoglobin (HGB) levels could be a potential diagnostic marker for OP. However, the relationship between OP and anemia remains uncertain. This prospective study aimed to investigate the association between HGB levels and OP.
