Özet
We studied ninety postmenopausal women who were suspected of having osteoporosis and aimed to investigate if 'arm span-height difference' value can help to estimate osteoporosis or related vertebral fractures. Osteoporosis was found in 51 of the patients. There was no statistical difference between osteoporotic and nonosteoporotic patients for 'arm span-height' value (p is less than 0.05). No statistical difference was determined between total Kleerekoper score and 'arm span-height difference' value (p is less than 0.05). It did not seem convenient to estimate the presence of osteoporosis and related fractures by the help of 'arm span-height difference' value.
