The main aim of this work was to report on trabecular bone score (TBS) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of healthy Italian subjects to be used as a reference standard for future study in clinical and research settings. The secondary aim was to investigate the link between TBS and conventional parameters of bone and body composition by DXA. ⋯ The study reports TBS values of a selectively enrolled Italian healthy population, ranging from younger to older ages and including males as a reference standard. Moreover, links between body composition and TBS are explored.
