Brief summary
There is a need for new tools to identify patients who may have osteoporosis before a fracture occurs.

Simple clinical examination with forearm inspection and palpation; * Radiological examination of BMD; * Calculation of the FRAX® score; * Fact sheet on patients with dermatoporosis, proposal of a topical treatment (cosmetic cream) and completion of the questionnaire specific to dermatoporosis

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| compare fracture risk between patients with dermatoporosis and those without dermatoporosis | BASELINE | The fracture risk will be calculated using the FRAX score. The presence of dermatoporosis will be assessed by a simple clinical examination of the forearms and defined by the presence of three clinical signs: cutaneous atrophy, Bateman purpura and presence of pseudo-stellar scars. |
