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 …

Osteoporosis is a significant health problem and contributor to disability and premature
mortality among older men. Incidence rates for hip fracture have stabilized in women, but …

To determine whether there are race/ethnic differences in bone mineral density (BMD) by
fracture history in men aged 65 years and older, we performed cross-sectional analysis in …

Although osteoporosis in men is increasingly recognized as an important health issue and
bone mass appears to be a major determinant of fracture, there remain few data concerning …

Although many studies have examined the association between low bone mineral density
(BMD) and fracture risk in older men, none have simultaneously studied the relationship …

Osteoporosis is a growing health problem not only in women but also in men. To assess
determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) at the spine and proximal femur, a randomly …

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 …

Literature has been conflicting as to whether obesity is protective against osteoporosis.
Understanding the relationship is particularly important in light of the increasing prevalence …

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 …

BMD was compared across race/ethnic groups. There were substantial race/ethnic
differences in BMD even within African or Asian origin. Additional adjustment for body size …
