Assessment of fracture risk and its application to screening for postmenopausal osteoporos
L. Alexeeva,P. Burkhardt,C. Christiansen,C. Cooper,P. Delmas,O. Johnell,C. Johnston,J. Kanis,P. Lips,Lee J. Melton,P. Meunier,Ego Seeman,J. Stepan,A. Tosteson,N. Khaltaev,J. P. Bonjour,H. Gong-Yi,R. Lindsay +17 more
TL;DR: There is little evidence that osteoporosis can usefully be tackled by a public health policy to influence risk factors such as smoking, exercise and nutrition, so the selective use of screening techniques will improve the cost-benefit ratio of intervention.
Hip fractures in the elderly: a worldwide projection
C Cooper,G. Campion,L. J. Melton +2 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that osteoporosis will truly become a global problem over the next half century, and that preventive strategies will be required in parts of the world where they are not currently felt to be necessary.

Medical Expenditures for the Treatment of Osteoporotic Fractures in the United States in 1995: Report from the National Osteoporosis Foundation
TL;DR: Although the majority of U.S. health care expenditures for the treatment of osteoporotic fractures were for white women, one‐fourth of the total was borne by other population subgroups.

Population-based study of age and sex differences in bone volumetric density, size, geometry, and structure at different skeletal sites.

TL;DR: Over life, the cross‐sectional area of the vertebrae and proximal femur increased by ∼15% in both sexes, whereas vBMD at these sites decreased by 39–55% and 34–46%, respectively, with greater decreases in women than in men.
Journal ArticleDOI
International variations in hip fracture probabilities: implications for risk assessment.
TL;DR: The categorization of hip fracture probabilities can be used to adjust intervention thresholds based on age, sex, and relative risk from a reference population such as Sweden.

Hip fractures in the elderly: A world-wide projection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied available incidence rates for hip fracture from various parts of the world to projected populations in 1990, 2025 and 2050 in order to estimate the numbers of hip fractures which might occur in each of the major continental regions.

Assessment of fracture risk and its application to screening for postmenopausal osteoporosis: synopsis of a WHO report. WHO Study Group.
TL;DR: The criteria required for an effective screening strategy for osteoporosis are largely met in Caucasian women as mentioned in this paper, which suggests that it is appropriate to consider targetting of treatment with agents affecting bone metabolism to susceptible individuals.
