TL;DR: Women with multiple risk factors and low bone density have an especially high risk of hip fracture and maintaining body weight, walking for exercise, avoiding long-acting benzodiazepines, minimizing caffeine intake, and treating impaired visual function are among the steps that may decrease the risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone density at various sites for prediction of hip fractures
Steven R. Cummings,Dennis M. Black,Michael C. Nevitt,Warren S. Browner,Jane A. Cauley,Kristine E. Ensrud,Harry K. Genant,L. Palermo,J. Scott,Thomas M. Vogt +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the femoral neck bone density was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry is a better predictor of hip fracture than measurements of other bones, including the radius or calcaneus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Case-Finding Instruments for Depression: Two Questions Are as Good as Many
Mary A. Whooley,Andrew L. Avins,Andrew L. Avins,Andrew L. Avins,Jeanne Miranda,Warren S. Browner,Warren S. Browner,Warren S. Browner +7 more
TL;DR: The test characteristics of a two-question case-fidning instrument that asks about depressed mood and anhedonia were compared with six common case-finding instruments, using the Quick Diagnostic Interview Schedule as a criterion standard for the diagnosis of major depression.

Short-term Prognosis After Emergency Department Diagnosis of TIA
TL;DR: The results indicate that the short-term risk of stroke and other adverse events among patients who present to an ED with a TIA is substantial and characteristics of the patient and the TIA may be useful for identifying patients who may benefit from expeditious evaluation and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum cholesterol, blood pressure, and mortality: implications from a cohort of 361,662 men.
TL;DR: For both CHD and total mortality, serum cholesterol was similar to diastolic blood pressure in the shape of the risk curve and in the size of the high-risk group, which supports the policy of a moderate fat intake for the general population and intensive treatment for those at high risk.
