In men, the association between poor physical performance and likelihood of incident
vertebral fractures is unknown. Using data from the MrOS study (N= 5958), we describe the …

Prior data in women suggest that incident clinically undiagnosed radiographic vertebral
fractures (VFs) often are symptomatic, but misclassification of incident clinical VF may have …

The aim of these analyses was to describe the association between physical performance
and risk of hip fractures in older men. Performance on five physical function exams (leg …

Background: Studies have shown that specific characteristics of prevalent vertebral fractures
are associated with a markedly low bone mineral density. This study evaluates if these …

We examined determinants of nonvertebral fracture in elderly men from six US communities
followed an average of 4.1 years. Six clinical risk factors predicted fracture risk independent …

Background context The epidemiology, the fracture pattern, and the clinical relevance of
prevalent vertebral fractures in old men are debated wherefore we set out to clarify these …

Objective: This study examined whether three aspects of functioning (ie, functional
limitations, physical performance, and physical activity) were associated with fractures in …

Older black men have higher adjusted bone mineral density (BMD) and a lower adjusted
rate of decline in hip BMD than older white men. There are few published data on the …

We examined the rate of clinical vertebral fractures, and the circumstances associated with
the fractures, in a cohort of 5,995 US older men. Fractures were more common in the most …

Low BMD and prevalent vertebral fractures are known risk factors for incident vertebral
fractures. In 3001 men and women from the Rotterdam Study, prevalent nonvertebral …
