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 …

Almost 30% of hip fractures occur in men; the mortality, morbidity, and loss of independence
after hip fractures are greater in men than in women. To comprehensively evaluate risk …

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 …

In a prospective study of 5384 older men, hip BMD was a very strong predictor of hip
fracture, much stronger than spine BMD. The relationship between hip BMD and hip fracture …

Bone mass is a major determinant of fracture, but there have been few comprehensive
studies of the correlates of bone mineral density (BMD) in older men. The objective of the …

ContextIt is widely believed that fractures resulting from high trauma are not osteoporotic;
however, this assumption has not been studied prospectively. ObjectiveTo examine the …

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 …

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 …

Risk factors may vary for different types of fracture, in particular for vertebral fractures. We
followed 367 women> 50 yr of age from a population‐based cohort for up to 10 yr. Factors …

Medicare claims data were used to investigate associations between history of previous
fractures, chronic conditions, and demographic characteristics and occurrence of fractures at …
