Summary Degenerative changes falsely elevate BMD; however, their impact on TBS is unclear. This study examined how spinal degenerative changes affect TBS-adjusted fracture risk (FRAX). In a majority, but not all patients in this sample, TBS decreased after exclusion of vertebrae with degenerative change. Therefore, vertebral exclusion for TBS is suggested.
