The current study expands the HR-pQCT worldwide database and presents an adequate methodology for the construction of reference data in other populations. Moreover, the correlation of bone strength estimated by FEA with other bone microstructural parameters provided by HR-pQCT helps to determine the contribution of each of these variables to fracture risk prediction in men.
