However, skull BMD may be affected by hyperostosis cranii, an asymptomatic condition that has been reported to affect ∼22% of postmenopausal women [ 88 ]. The femoral neck is another cortical-rich site; femoral neck BMD by central DXA had highly significant inverse association with cortical porosity assessed by iliac bone biopsy [ 89 ] ( Figure 3 ).
