In a prospective study of 699 women, 39 new spine fracture cases were observed during a
mean follow-up of 3.6 yr. Spine fracture incidence was compared to initial bone mineral …

In a study of 1098 women (mean age, 63.3 years) nonspine fracture incidence and
prevalence rates and spine fracture prevalence rates were compared by quinitile of bone …

Commonly known risk factors have been shown to correlate with mean bone mass in
populations, but none of these risk factors, either alone or in combination, have been shown …

Vertebral fracture is the most frequent manifestation of osteoporosis in women. Because
there is a lack of information about bone density and the occurrence of fractures in men with …

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 …

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 …

Objective: To determine the independent contributions of bone mass and existing fractures
as predictors of the risk for new vertebral fractures. Subjects: Postmenopausal Japanese …

Bone mineral measurements have been criticized for their inability to clearly distinguish
fracture and “non fracture” populations. However, this failure is not unexpected, since some …

We evaluated the ability of bone density and vertebral fractures at baseline to predict
vertebral fracture incidence in a cohort of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The …

We examined the impact of degenerative conditions in the spine (osteophytosis and
endplate sclerosis) and aortic calcification in the lumbar region on bone mineral …
