Risk Factors for Hip Fracture in Men from Southern Europe: The MEDOS Study

TL;DR: It is concluded that lifestyle factors are associated with significant differences in the risk of hip fracture and potentially remediable factors including a low degree of physical exercise and a low BMI account for a large component of the total risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for efficacy of drugs affecting bone metabolism in preventing hip fracture.

TL;DR: Oestrogen, calcium, and calcitonins significantly decrease the risk of hip fracture, and short term intervention late in the natural course of osteoporosis may have significant effects on the incidence of hip fractures.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for hip fracture in Spanish and Turkish women

TL;DR: It is suggested that low body mass index, low dietary calcium intake, low physical activity, a short fertile period, and a short period of education are associated with increased risk of hip fracture.
