Most studies report that longer hip axis length (HAL) is associated with increased hip
fracture risk in women, but comparable data in men are sparse. Using a registry of all dual …

Context: Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(DXA) is widely used to assess skeletal strength in clinical practice, but DXA instruments can …

Incident hip fractures and non-hip osteoporotic fractures were studied in 30,953 women
during mean 3.7 years of observation. Hip axis length (HAL) and strength index (SI) made a …

Hip geometry measurements of outer diameter and buckling ratio at the intertrochanter and
shaft of the hip dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan predicted incident hip fracture …

Hip axis length (HAL) has been proposed as an independent predictor of hip fracture risk in
Caucasian females. There are, however, few data concerning its predictive risk in Chinese …

The hip axis length has been shown in previous studies to be predictive of hip fracture
independent of age and femoral bone density. The first studies of hip axis length were …

We compared hip axis length (HAL) in 157 non-Hispanic white women, 292 African-
American women, and 210 Mexican-American women. After adjusting for maximal hip girth …

Hip geometry and bone mineral density (BMD) have previously been shown to relate
independently to hip fracture risk. Our objective was to determine by how much hip …

In this retrospective study of hip fracture risk evaluation from hip dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DXA) scans, our objectives were to determine which part of the femoral neck …

Hip axis length (HAL), a measure of femoral geometry, has been shown to predict hip
fracture in white women over the age of 67 years, independently of bone mineral density at …
