TL;DR: Harry K. Genant (Chairman) , Cyrus Cooper (Rapporteur) , Gyula Poor (Rappy) , Ian Reid (R apporteur), George Ehrlich (Editor) and Nikolai Khaltaev (WHO Secretariat) 30

TL;DR: The data confirm the frequent occurrence of the disorder in men as well as in women and the rise in incidence with age and some evidence of geographic variation in fracture occurrence; rates were higher in Sweden than elsewhere in Europe.

TL;DR: According to these provisional classification criteria, patients ≥50 years old presenting with bilateral shoulder pain, not better explained by an alternative pathology, can be classified as having PMR in the presence of morning stiffness>45 minutes, elevated CRP and/or ESR and new hip pain.

TL;DR: According to these provisional classification criteria, patients ≥50 years old presenting with bilateral shoulder pain, not better explained by an alternative pathology, can be classified as having PMR in the presence of morning stiffness >45 minutes, elevated C-reactive protein and/or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and new hip pain.

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.
