Prediction of bone density from vitamin D receptor alleles
BONE density achieved in early adulthood is the major determinant of risk of osteoporotic
fracture. Up to 60% of women 1,2 suffer osteoporotic fractures as a result of low bone density 2 …

Mortality after all major types of osteoporotic fracture in men and women: an observational study
Background Mortality increases after hip fractures in women and more so in men. Little is
known, however, about mortality after other fractures. We investigated the mortality associated …

Mortality risk associated with low-trauma osteoporotic fracture and subsequent fracture in men and women
Context There are few data on long-term mortality following osteoporotic fracture and fewer
following subsequent fracture. Objectives To examine long-term mortality risk in women and …

The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women
…, C Christiansen, S Cummings, JA Eisman… - Osteoporosis …, 2007 - Springer
BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures. The combination
of clinical risk factors and BMD provide higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone. …
