Journal ArticleDOI
Subclinical hypothyroidism is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction in elderly women: the Rotterdam Study
TL;DR: This population-based study examined whether subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmunity are associated with aortic atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction in elderly women who were participating in the Rotterdam Study.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of previous fracture and subsequent fracture risk
John A. Kanis,Olof Johnell,C De Laet,Helena Johansson,Anders Odén,Pierre D. Delmas,John A. Eisman,Saeko Fujiwara,P. Garnero,Heikki Kröger,Eugene V. McCloskey,Dan Mellström,Lee J. Melton,Huib A.P. Pols,J. Reeve,Alan J. Silman,Alan Tenenhouse +16 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that previous history of fracture confers an increased risk of fracture of substantial importance beyond that explained by measurement of BMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women.

Glüer,David Goltzman,Didier Hans,M-A Krieg,A.Z. La Croix,Eugene V. McCloskey,Dan Mellström,Lee J. Melton,Huib A.P. Pols,Jonathan Reeve,Kerrie M. Sanders,A. M. Schott,Alan J. Silman,David J. Torgerson,T. P. van Staa,Nelson B. Watts,Noriko Yoshimura +28 more
TL;DR: BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures with higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone and provide the basis for the integrated use of validated Clinical risk factors in men and women to aid in fracture risk prediction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking and fracture risk: a meta-analysis
John A. Kanis,Olof Johnell,Anders Odén,Helena Johansson,C De Laet,John A. Eisman,S. Fujiwara,Heikki Kröger,Eugene V. McCloskey,Dan Mellström,Lee J. Melton,Huib A.P. Pols,J. Reeve,Alan J. Silman,Alan Tenenhouse +14 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a history of smoking results in fracture risk that is substantially greater than that explained by measurement of BMD and its validation on an international basis permits the use of this risk factor in case finding strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral density, osteoporosis, and osteoporotic fractures : a genome-wide association study

TL;DR: The combined effect of these risk alleles on fractures is similar to that of most well-replicated environmental risk factors, and they are present in more than one in five white people, suggesting a potential role in screening.
