daisy17, thanks. I appreciate all links.
This article gives me a variation of an old thought. Because we measure osteoporosis by areal bone mineral density, maybe all the osteoporotic patients on bisphosphonates are subsequently measuring as osteopenic, thereby increasing the number of osteopenic fractures. The article doesn't indicate whether the populations in this study were treatment naive.

@gently I am not understanding your question, specifically this statement: "patients on bisphosphonates are subsequently measuring as osteopenic, thereby increasing the number of osteopenic fractures". Can you clarify?
