Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture incidence and association with bone mineral density in elderly men and women: the Rotterdam Study.
Stephanie C. E. Schuit,M. van der Klift,Angelique E. A. M. Weel,C De Laet,Huibert Burger,Ego Seeman,Albert Hofman,A. G. Uitterlinden,J.P.T.M. van Leeuwen,Huibert A. P. Pols +9 more
TL;DR: There is a clear need for the development of more sensitive risk assessment tools, using not only BMD, but also other clinical predictors of fractures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Increased Bone Loss in an Elderly Population The Rotterdam Study
H. Burger,C De Laet,P L A van Daele,Angelique E. A. M. Weel,J. C. M. Witteman,Albert Hofman,Huib A.P. Pols +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that in elderly people the rate of bone loss is higher in women, progresses with age, and is further determined by several modifiable risk factors, particularly in men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hip Fracture Prediction in Elderly Men and Women: Validation in the Rotterdam Study
Chris De Laet,Ben A. van Hout,H. Burger,Angelique E. A. M. Weel,Albert Hofman,Huibert A. P. Pols +5 more
TL;DR: A hip fracture risk function, composed of age and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD), was validated and able to predict accurately hip fracture rates over a period of almost 4 years and was observed a similar relation of hip fracture with Femoral neck BMD in men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen receptor polymorphism predicts the onset of natural and surgical menopause.
Angelique E. A. M. Weel,A.G. Uitterlinden,I. C. D. Westendorp,H. Burger,Stephanie C. E. Schuit,A. Hofman,T. J. M. Helmerhorst,J.P.T.M. van Leeuwen,Huibert A. P. Pols +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that genetic variations of the ER gene are related to the onset of natural menopause and the risk of surgicalMenopause, especially hysterectomy, in postmenopausal women of the Rotterdam Study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of 5′ estrogen receptor alpha gene polymorphisms with bone mineral density, vertebral bone area and fracture risk
Joyce B. J. van Meurs,Stephanie C. E. Schuit,Angelique E. A. M. Weel,Marjolein van der Klift,Arjan P. Bergink,Pascal P. Arp,E. M. Colin,Yue Fang,Albert Hofman,Cornelia M. van Duijn,Johannes P.T.M. van Leeuwen,Huibert A. P. Pols,André G. Uitterlinden +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ESR1 polymorphism in the 5' (promoter) region is associated with vertebral fracture risk, lumbar spine BMD and vertebral bone area in postmenopausal women, but not in men.
