TL;DR

It is suggested that visceral adiposity measured by opportunistic CT may serve as a potential biomarker for identifying postmenopausal women with osteopenia who are at an increased risk of fracture.

The Obesity–Bone Paradox in Postmenopausal Women: Divergent Associations of BMI with Bone Mineral Density and Trabecular Bone Score in a Real-World DXA Cohort

In postmenopausal women, higher BMI was associated with higher BMD but lower TBS, supporting a divergent relationship between densitometric findings and DXA-derived trabecular texture parameters, and suggesting that TBS may complement BMD in describing skeletal imaging status in overweight and obese women.

Obesity and Bone Fragility: The Hidden Impact of Insulin Resistance on Trabecular Bone Score, Not Bone Density.

Patients with obesity demonstrated site-specific reductions in trabecular bone quality, particularly in the lower lumbar spine compared with non-obese people, suggesting that metabolic dysfunction, not mechanical loading, influences bone fragility in obesity.

Assessment of Bone Mass and Fracture Risk Using Trabecular Bone Score in Children with Autoimmune Gastrointestinal Diseases

The findings suggest that the clinical role of TBS in the assessment of pediatric bone health remains to be established, and that larger prospective studies are needed to clarify the clinical value of TBS for fracture risk assessment in pediatric autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases.

Trabecular bone score and bone mineral density in systemic sclerosis: Prevalence of low bone quality and associated clinical factors - a case-control study.

The trabecular bone score (TBS) provides complementary, indirect information on trabecular microarchitecture that may be independently impaired in SSc, and SSc patients exhibit significantly impaired bone microarchitecture compared with matched controls.

Age-specific reference values for lumbar spine trabecular bone score (TBS) in Brazilian adult women.

It is indicated that trabecular microarchitecture deteriorates earlier and more rapidly with aging than bone mass loss captured by BMD, supporting the use of TBS as a complementary tool for evaluating skeletal health and fracture risk.
