We discovered a clear pattern of association between hand OA and low hand and arm BMD, with increased risk of wrist fracture, as well as reproducing previous associations between knee and spine OA and elevated spine, hip, and total body BMD. It appears that hand OA manifests differently in comparison to hip and knee OA.
