Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants of incident vertebral fracture in men and women: results from the European Prospective Osteoporosis Study (EPOS).

TL;DR: The data suggest that modification of other lifestyle risk factors is unlikely to have a major impact on the population occurrence of vertebral fractures, and the important biological mechanisms underlying vertebral fracture risk need to be explored using new investigational strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of limb fracture across Europe: Results from the European prospective osteoporosis study (EPOS)

TL;DR: This is the first large population-based study to characterize the incidence of limb fracture in men and women over 50 years of age across Europe and there was evidence of significant variation in the occurrence of hip, distal forearm and humerus fractures across Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalent vertebral deformity predicts incident hip though not distal forearm fracture: results from the European Prospective Osteoporosis Study.

TL;DR: P prevalent radiographic vertebral deformities in women are a strong predictor of hip fracture, and to a lesser extent humerus and ‘other’ limb fractures; however, they do not predict distal forearm fractures.
