In a cohort of 2356 Japanese elderly, after adjusting for age and prevalent vertebral fracture,
baseline BMD predicted the risk of spine and hip fracture with similar RR to that obtained …

Prospective and cross‐sectional studies have demonstrated that bone mass predicts
fracture risk. However, most prospective studies have been limited to a few years of follow …

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 …

Bone mineral density (BMD) is an important predictor of future fracture risk in women;
however, there are few prospective data in men. The aim of this analysis was to determine …

Several prospective studies have shown that the bone mineral density (BMD) measured in
the appendicular or axial skeleton has an inverse relationship with the risk of subsequent …

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 …

Bone mineral density (BMD) has been shown to predict fracture risk in community-dwelling
older persons; however, no comparable prospective study has been performed in the long …

To test the hypothesis that the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and
estimated volumetric BMD and prevalent vertebral fractures differs in men and women, we …

In women, many studies indicate that the risk of vertebral fragility fractures increases as
bone mineral density (BMD) declines. In contrast, few studies are available for BMD and …

Low bone mineral density (BMD) increases fracture risk; how changes in BMD influence
fracture risk in older men is uncertain. BMD was assessed at two to three time points over …
