Fracture Risk Estimation

Methods for estimating 5-year and 10-year risks of hip and any fracture in women and men.
After extensive analyses and consideration of more than 50 risk factors, we found that 5 factors markedly affected fracture outcome: age, bone mineral density, body weight, a history of prior fracture after the age of 50, and any falls during the past 12 months. These risk factors were then used to develop and internally validate the prognostic model
