MPN and osteoporosis, any of you have insufficiency fractures?

I have asked my hematologist and a hematologist at Mayo if there is an association between stress fxs and MPN, both have said no. Does anyone with ET or other MPN have osteoporosis or stress fxs? My Dexa scan says osteopenia but I’ve had 6 st fxs in 2.5 years. Being treated now for osteoporosis now. Article saying there is an association https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8043867/

I'm 71 and have ET with JAK2 mutation. A DEXA scan earlier this month showed normal bone density in all areas scanned.

Good reminder to get a bone density test if you are a certain age!
