TL;DR: The association between obesity and fracture in postmenopausal women is site‐dependent, obesity being protective against hip and pelvis fractures but associated with an almost 30% increase in risk for proximal humerus fractures when compared with normal/underweight women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and fractures in postmenopausal women.
TL;DR: A surprisingly high prevalence of obesity is demonstrated in postmenopausal women presenting to the FLS with low‐trauma fracture, which has important public heath implications in view of the rapidly rising increase in obesity in many populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of co-morbidities on fracture risk: Findings from the Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW)

Watts,Susan L. Greenspan,Melissa Orlandin Premaor,Cyrus Cooper +24 more
TL;DR: Addition of co-morbidity index to FRAX risk factors improved fracture prediction, and Parkinson's disease carried a particularly high risk of fracture; and increasing co- Morbidity Index was associated with increasing fracture risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between fracture site and obesity in men: A population‐Based cohort study
Melissa Orlandin Premaor,Juliet E. Compston,Francesc Fina Avilés,A Pages-Castella,Xavier Nogués,Adolfo Diez-Perez,Daniel Prieto-Alhambra +6 more
TL;DR: In this population‐based cohort of older men, obesity was associated with a reduced risk of clinical spine, hip, pelvis, and wrist/forearm fracture and increased risk of multiple rib fractures when compared to normal or underweight men.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether the urinary levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) are increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with normal or mildly increased albuminuria.
