Higher hsCRP levels were associated with greater endocortical expansion at the distal radius and tibia. Higher hsCRP was associated with slightly faster decrease in total and cortical vBMD and failure load at distal tibia, but not with the fracture risk. Thus, high hsCRP levels are associated with faster cortical bone loss, but not with fracture risk in older men.
