Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants of incident vertebral fracture in men and women: results from the European Prospective Osteoporosis Study (EPOS).

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.
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

Osteoporosis changes the amount of vertebral trabecular bone at risk of fracture but not the vertebral load distribution.

TL;DR: Finite-element models indicated that neither osteopenia nor osteoporosis had any effect on the contribution of the trabecular core to the total load placed on the vertebra, and osteoporbic vertebrae carried about half the load.
