Key Points

• Thoracic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are primarily caused by recurrent cough during COVID-19.
• Key factors include lung disease treatment, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and the use of thoracic braces.
• Analysis of patient data during the COVID-19 normalization period highlights critical risk factors.
• These findings emphasize the need for targeted prevention strategies for vulnerable patient populations.
