In a large cohort of US women aged 65 and older, we report the relationships of BMD
measured at several sites, and subsequent fracture risk at multiple sites over> 8 years of …

The relationship of low bone mass and fracture in younger postmenopausal women has not
been extensively studied. In a large cohort of postmenopausal women≥ 50 years of age, we …

Osteoporotic fractures are a major public health problem, particularly in women. Bone
mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone size have been regarded as …

Although the utility of bone mass measurements has been the subjects of extensive
investigations, the number of studies comparing the predictive value of bone mass …

We evaluated different definitions of osteoporosis in a population‐based sample of 348 men
(age 22–90 years) compared with 351 women (age 21–93 years). Thirty‐six men (10%) and …

Fracture risk assessment based solely on BMD has limitations. Additional risk factors include
the presence of a previous low‐trauma fracture. We sought to quantify the fracture burden …

The ability of bone mineral density (BMD) and other risk factors to predict fracture risk is well‐
established for as long as 5 to 10 years. However, their value to predict risk over a longer …

When the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for the definition of osteoporosis in
postmenopausal women were identified similar proposals were not developed for men as …

Osteoporosis and 1‐year fracture risk were studied in 197,848 postmenopausal American
women from five ethnic groups. Weight explained differences in BMD, except among blacks …

The incidence of all non-vertebral fractures, as well as the relation to bone mineral density
(BMD), was quantified in 7806 men and women from the Rotterdam Study, a prospective …
