Brief Summary:
It is well known that some chronic respiratory pathologies such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, due to the pathology itself and the therapies implemented (per-os or inhaled corticosteroids). Osteoporosis leads to an increased risk of fragility fracture, with an increased morbidity and mortality associated with severe fractures such as vertebral fractures. Also, osteoporotic vertebral fractures often occur at the thoracolumbar hinge,…
