Popis: Background: Smoking is a risk factor for fracture, but the mechanism by which smoking increases fracture risk is unclear. Methods: Musculoskeletal health was compared with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), trabecular bone score, and vertebral fracture assessment in current and past smokers and nonsmokers from a multiethnic study of adults ≥ age 65. Skeletal indices were adjusted for age and weight. Results: Participants (n = 311) were mean age (±SD) 76.1 ± 6.5 years, mostly female (66.0%) and non-white (32.7% black/39.4% mixed race/26.3% white). Mean pack-years was 34.6 ± 20.4. In men (n = 106), weight and BMI were lower (both p
