This population-based study documents an increase in most types of fractures following the occurrence of a clinically recognized
vertebral fracture among 820 Rochester, Minnesota, residents. During 4349 person-years of follow-up, 896 new fractures were
observed. Relative to incidence rates in the community, there was a 2.8-fold increase in the risk of any fracture, which was
greater in men (standardized incidence ratio (SIR), 4.2; 95% CI, 3.2–5.3) than women (SIR, 2.7; 95% CI, 2.4–3.0). The estimated
cumulative incidence of any fracture after 10 years was 70%. The greatest increase in risk was for subsequent fractures of
the axial skeleton, in particular a 12.6-fold increase (95% CI, 11–14) in additional vertebral fractures. There was a lesser
increase in most limb fractures, including a 2.3-fold increase (95% CI, 1.8–2.9) in hip fractures and a 1.6-fold increase
(95% CI, 1.01–2.4) in distal forearm fractures. There was a slightly greater association with distal forearm fractures among
those whose first vertebral fracture occurred before age 70 years but a similar relationship with hip fractures, including
cervical and intertrochanteric hip fractures separately, regardless of age at the initial vertebral fracture. There was also
an equivalent increase in subsequent fracture risk whether the initial vertebral fracture was attributed to severe or moderate
trauma. These data show that vertebral fractures represent an important risk factor for fractures in general, not just those
of the spine and hip.

The presence of a vertebral deformity increases the risk of subsequent spinal deformities. The aim of this analysis was to
determine whether the presence of vertebral deformity predicts incident hip and other limb fractures. Six thousand three hundred
and forty-four men and 6788 women aged 50 years and over were recruited from population registers in 31 European centers and
followed prospectively for a median of 3 years. All subjects had radiographs performed at baseline and the presence of vertebral
deformity was assessed using established morphometric methods. Incident limb fractures which occurred during the follow- up
period were ascertained by annual postal questionnaire and confirmed by radiographs, review of medical records and personal
interview. During a total of 40 348 person-years of follow-up, 138 men and 391 women sustained a limb fracture. Amongst the
women, after adjustment for age, prevalent vertebral deformity was a strong predictor of incident hip fracture, (rate ratio
(RR) = 4.5; 95% CI 2.1–9.4) and a weak predictor of ‘other’ limb fractures (RR = 1.6; 95% CI 1.1–2.4), though not distal forearm
fracture (RR = 1.0; 95% CI 0.6–1.6). The predictive risk increased with increasing number of prevalent deformities, particularly
for subsequent hip fracture: for two or more deformities, RR = 7.2 (95% CI 3.0–17.3). Amongst men, vertebral deformity was
not associated with an increased risk of incident limb fracture though there was a nonsignificant trend toward an increased
risk of hip fracture with increasing number of deformities. In summary, 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.

Contribution of Weather to the Seasonality of Distal Forearm Fractures: A Population-Based Study in Rochester, Minnesota 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
S. J. Jacobsen D. J. Sargent E. J. Atkinson W. M. O’Fallon L. J. Melton III 《Osteoporosis international》1999,9(3):254-259
Distal forearm fractures due to falls were more frequent in the winter (p<0.0001) among Rochester men and women 35 years of age or older in 1952–89. The winter excess was partially explained by a
greater relative risk of distal forearm fractures on days with freezing rain (1.65; 95% CI 1.28–2.13) or snow (1.42; 95% CI
1.17–1.74) among women under 65 years of age and on days with freezing rain (1.63; 95% CI 1.23–2.17) among older women. The
greater seasonality of forearm compared with hip fractures is explained by the fact that more of them occur out-of-doors.
However, residual effects of season after adjusting for daily weather conditions suggest that other factors may play a role.

Symptomatic fractures are a significant problem in terms of both morbidity and financial cost. Marked variation in both total
and site-specific fracture incidence has been documented internationally but there is limited within-country data. This prospective
population-based study documented the incidence of all symptomatic fractures occurring from July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1999
in adults ≥50 years of age resident in Southern Tasmania (total population ≥50 years: 64 688). Fractures were ascertained
by reviewing reports from all the radiology providers within the area. There were 701 fractures in men and 1309 fractures
in women. The corresponding fracture incidence in men and women was 1248 and 1916 per 100 000 person-years, respectively.
Residual lifetime fracture risk in a person aged 50 years was 27% for men and 44% for women with fractures other than hip
fractures constituting the majority of symptomatic fracture events. These fracture risk estimates remained remarkably constant
with increasing age. In comparison to Geelong, there were significantly lower hip fracture rates (males: RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.45–0.76;
females: RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.53–0.71) but significantly higher distal forearm fractures (males: RR 1.87, 95% CI 1.10–3.78; females:
RR 1.31, 95% CI 1.11–1.55) and total fractures in men (RR 1.31, 95% CI 1.17–1.46) but not women (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.98–1.13).
In contrast, Southern Tasmania had lower age-standardized rates of all fractures compared with Dubbo (RR 0.28–0.79). In conclusion,
this study provides compelling evidence that fracture incidence varies between different geographic sites within the same
country, which has important implications for health planning. In addition, the combination of high residual fracture risk
and short life expectancy in elderly subjects suggests fracture prevention will be most cost-effective in later life.

The two types of hip fracture – cervical and trochanteric femoral fractures – are generally considered together in etiologic
studies. However, women with a trochanteric fracture may be more osteoporotic than those with cervical hip fractures, and
have higher post-fracture mortality. To explore differences in risk factor patterns between the two types of hip fracture
we used data from a large population-based case–control study in Swedish women, 50–81 years of age. Data were collected by
questionnaire, to which more than 80% of subjects responded. Of the cases included, 811 had had a cervical fracture and 483
a trochanteric fracture during the study period; these cases were compared with 3312 randomly selected controls. Height and
hormonal factors appeared to affect the risk of the two types of hip fracture differently. For every 5 cm of current height,
women with a cervical fracture had an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.23 (95% CI 1.15–1.32) compared with an OR of 1.06 (95%
CI 0.97–1.15) for women with trochanteric fractures. Later menopausal age was protective for trochanteric fractures (OR 0.95,
95% CI 0.91–0.99 per 2 years) but no such association was found for cervical fractures. Compared with never smokers, current
smokers had an OR of 1.48 (95% CI 1.12–1.95) for trochanteric fractures and 1.22 (95% CI 0.98–1.52) for cervical fractures.
Current hormone replacement therapy was similarly protective for both fracture types, but former use substantially reduced
risk only for trochanteric fractures: OR 0.55 (95% CI 0.33–0.92) compared with 1.00 (95% CI 0.71–1.39) for cervical fractures.
These risk factor patterns suggest etiologic differences between the fracture types which have to be considered when planning
preventive interventions.

The extent to which a fracture at one skeletal site predicts further fractures at other sites remains uncertain. We addressed
this issue using information from the UK General Practice Research Database, which contains the medical records of general
practitioners; our study population consisted of all patients aged 20 years or older with an incident fracture during 1988
to 1998. We identified 222 369 subjects (119 317 women, 103 052 men) who had sustained at least one fracture during follow-up.
There was a 2- to 3-fold increase in the risk of subsequent fractures at different skeletal sites. A patient with a radius/ulna
fracture had a standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of 3.0 (95% confidence interval 2.9–3.1) for fractures at a different skeletal
site; for initial vertebral fracture, this ratio was 2.9 (2.8–3.1) and for initial femur/hip fracture it was 2.6 (2.5–2.7).
The SIRs were generally higher among men than women. Men aged 65–74 years with a radius/ulna fracture or vertebral fracture
had substantially higher rates of subsequent femur/hip fractures than expected; SIRs were 6.0 (3.4–9.9) and 13.4 (7.3–22.5).
Corresponding SIRs among women of similar age were 3.3 (2.8–3.9) and 5.8 (4.1–8.1), respectively. Men and women aged 65 years
or older with a vertebral fracture had a 5-year risk of femur/hip fracture of 6.7% and 13.3%, respectively. Our results indicate
that fractures at any site are strong risk factors for subsequent fractures, among both elderly men and women.

The ability of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) to estimate the risk of osteoporotic fractures was evaluated in a prospective
study over a mean time of 5.47 years in 254 postmenopausal women (mean age 58.06 ± 7.67 years). Baseline measurements of ultrasound
transmission velocity (UTV) and bone mineral density (BMD) were taken at the distal radius (DR). UTV was also measured at
the patella (P). Fifty nonspine fractures due to minor trauma were detected during annual check-ups with an incidence of 3.59/year.
Fractures occurred in older women with a lower BMD and QUS. Using Cox regression analysis the relative risk (RR) per 1 standard
deviation (SD) decrease in the unadjusted QUS and BMD measurements was: BMD-DR = 3.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.57–8.09;
UTV-DR = 5.35, 95% CI 2.07–13.83; UTV-P = 4.49, 95% CI 2.08–9.68. The relationship between BMD and QUS variables and fracture
risk persisted after adjusting for potential confounders apart from previous fractures, giving the following RR: BMD-DR =
2.99, 95% CI 1.06–8.41; UTV-DR = 3.69, 95% CI 1.18–11.49; UTV-P = 3.89, 95% CI 1.53–9.90. Correcting also for previous fractures,
only UTV-P remained an effective predictor of fracture risk even after QUS measurement correction for BMD. Wrist fractures
were best related to BMD-DR (RR 7.33, 95% CI 1.43–37.50) and UTV-DR (RR 10.94, 95% CI 1.10–108.45), while hip and ankle fractures
were significantly associated only with UTV-P (hip: RR 32.14, 95% CI 1.83–562.80; ankle: RR 17.60, 95% CI 1.78–173.79). The
combined use of BMD and QUS is a better predictor of fracture risk than either technique used separately. Comparison of the
areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves did not show differences in the ability of BMD and QUS to correctly
distinguish fractures. In conclusion, QUS predicts fracture risk in osteoporotic women at least as well as BMD. UTV-DR and
BMD-DR are good predictors of wrist fractures, while UTV-P is strongly related to hip and ankle fractures. QUS and BMD combined
improve the diagnostic ability of each technique individually.

Long-Term Risk of Osteoporotic Fracture in Malmö 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
J. A. Kanis O. Johnell A. Oden I. Sernbo I. Redlund-Johnell A. Dawson C. De Laet B. Jonsson 《Osteoporosis international》2000,11(8):669-674
The objectives of the present study were to estimate long-term risks of osteoporotic fractures. The incidence of hip, distal
forearm, proximal humerus and vertebral fracture were obtained from patient records in Malmo¨, Sweden. Vertebral fractures
were confined to those coming to clinical attention, either as an inpatient or an outpatient case. Patient records were examined
to exclude individuals with prior fractures at the same site. Future mortality rates were computed for each year of age from
Poisson models using the Swedish Patient Register and the Statistical Year Book. The incidence and lifetime risk of any fracture
were determined from the proportion of individuals fracture-free from the age of 45 years. Lifetime risk of shoulder, forearm,
hip and spine fracture were 13.3%, 21.5%, 23.3% and 15.4% respectively in women at the age of 45 years. Corresponding values
for men at the age of 45 years were 4.4%, 5.2%, 11.2% and 8.6%. The risk of any of these fractures was 47.3% and 23.8% in
women and men respectively. Remaining lifetime risk was stable with age for hip fracture, but decreased by 20–30% by the age
of 70 years in the case of other fractures. Ten and 15 year risks for all types of fractures increased with age until the
age of 80 years, when they approached lifetime risks because of the competing probabilities of fracture and death. We conclude
that fractures of the hip and spine carry higher risks than fractures at other sites, and that lifetime risks of fracture
of the hip in particular have been underestimated.

Ultrasound Measurements for the Prediction of Osteoporotic Fractures in Elderly People 总被引:13,自引:7,他引:6
In this prospective study we investigated the predictive value of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements and other potential
predictors of osteoporotic fractures in the elderly. During a 1-year period, 710 participants (132 men and 578 women), aged
70 years and older (mean age ± SD: 82.8 ± 5.9), were recruited from seven homes and apartment houses for the elderly. QUS
measurements (broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and speed of sound (SOS)) were assessed with a clinical bone densitometer.
A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on other potential predictors. Follow-up of fractures was done
each half year by telephone interviews. During the study period (median follow-up 2.8 years, maximum 3.7 years), 30 participants
had a first hip fracture and 54 suffered from a first other nonspinal fracture. Cox regression analyses, adjusted for age
and sex, showed that the relative risk (RR) of hip fracture for each standard deviation reduction was 2.3 (95% CI, 1.4–3.7)
for BUA and 1.6 (95% CI, 1.1–2.3) for SOS. Slightly weaker relationships were found for any fracture (BUA: RR, 1.6; 95% CI,
1.2–2.1; SOS: RR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0–1.6). Multivariable analyses identified low BUA values and immobility as the strongest
predictors for hip fractures and any fracture. Female gender proved to be the strongest predictor for other nonspinal fractures.
It can be concluded that QUS measurements can predict the risk for hip fracture and any fracture in elderly people.

Risk Factors for Perimenopausal Fractures: A Prospective Study 总被引:11,自引:6,他引:5
J. Huopio H. Kröger R. Honkanen S. Saarikoski E. Alhava 《Osteoporosis international》2000,11(3):219-227
This prospective study was aimed at determining the risk factors for the development of fractures in perimenopausal women.
The study group (n= 3068) was comprised of a stratified population sample of women aged between 47 and 56 years. During the follow-up period
of 3.6 years, 257 (8.4%) of the women sustained a total of 295 fractures. After adjustment for covariates, the relative risk
(RR) of sustaining a fracture was found to be 1.4 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2–1.6] for a 1 standard deviation (SD) decrease
in the spinal and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD). Women with a previous fracture history were found to have an increased
risk of fracture [RR 1.7 (95% CI 1.3–2.2)] and those reporting three or more chronic illnesses exhibited a RR of 1.4 (95%
CI 1.0–1.9). Women not using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) had a RR of 1.5 (95% CI 1.1–2.2) for all fracture types. When
osteoporotic fractures (vertebral, hip, proximal humerus and wrist fractures; n= 98) were used as an endpoint, the independent risk factors were found to be a low BMD (RR for a 1 SD decrease in both spinal
and femoral neck BMD was 1.6, 95% CI 1.3–2.0), a previous fracture history (RR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3–2.9) and nonuse of HRT (RR
2.2, 95% CI 1.3–4.0). The independent risk factors for all other fractures (n = 158) were a low BMD (RR for a 1 SD decrease in the spinal BMD was 1.4, 95% CI 1.2–1.6 and in the femoral neck BMD was 1.3,
95% CI 1.1–1.5), a previous fracture history (RR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1–2.2), smoking (RR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1–2.7) and having had three
or more chronic illnesses (RR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1–2.2). Weight, height, age, menopausal status, maternal hip fracture, use of
alcohol, coffee consumption or dietary calcium intake were not independently associated with the development of any particular
type of fracture. We conclude that the independent risk factors for perimenopausal fractures are a low bone density, previous
fracture history, nonuse of HRT, having had three or more chronic illnesses and smoking, the gradient of risk being similar
for spinal and femoral neck BMD measurements in the perimenopausal population. The risk factors are slightly different for
perimenopausal osteoporotic than for other types of fractures.

Hip fractures are among the most important causes of ill health and death among elderly people. Several potentially modifiable
risk factors have been reported. Most claimed physical activity as a promising, inexpensive preventive measure for hip fracture.
However, knowledge about risk factors for hip fracture in Asian populations is very limited. We therefore conducted a case–control
study to assess the relationships between physical activity and risk of hip fractures in Thai women. From 14 hospitals in
Thailand, 229 cases with a radiologically confirmed first hip fracture were enrolled. Two hundred and twenty-four controls
were randomly recruited from the same neighborhood and were matched to the cases by age within a 5 year range. Information
on physical activity as well as other potential confounders was obtained through personal interviews. Multivariate logistic
regression revealed that past physical activity was protective in both very active and active women (OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.40–1.12
for moderately active women and OR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.10–0.38 for very active women; p value for trend <0.01). Recent physical activity reduced the risk to about two-thirds (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.19–0.60 and
OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.18–0.69 for moderately and very active women respectively). In addition, breastfeeding was identified
to be a protective factor (OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.80–0.94). In contrast, the following risk factors were identified: current
use of antihistamine (OR = 13.96, 95% CI = 1.38–141.13) or traditional medicine (OR = 7.66, 95% CI = 2.71–21.63), underlying
cerebrovascular diseases (OR = 6.53, 95% CI = 2.10–20.34), history of fracture (OR = 4.04, 95% CI = 1.26–12.99), parental
Chinese racial background (OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.49–4.23), alcohol consumption (OR = 2.30, 95% CI = 1.04–5.09).

There is little population-based data concerning fracture rates in Australia. We ascertained all fractures occurring during
2 years in adults aged 35 years and over residing within a defined region (population 218 000), representative of the Australian
population. The major strength of this study is the comprehensive ascertainment of fractures, which was ensured by regular
searches of the only two radiologic providers in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study region. Nevertheless, vertebral fractures
are likely to be underestimated since our ascertainment relied on a clinical indication for a medical imaging procedure. Among
those aged 35 – 55 years, the fracture rate (persons per 10 000/year) in men was about double the rate in women (65 vs 35).
The fracture rate was almost 7 times higher in women over 60 years versus women less than 55 years of age. In contrast, the
fracture rate in men over 60 years was only 50% higher than in men less than 55 years of age (72 vs 104). Fracture rates in
women and men were highest at the hip (28 and 10 respectively), spine (21 and 7), distal forearm (Colles’) (18 and 4) and
humerus (11 and 3), and were 3–4 times higher in women than men. These fractures accounted for 63% of all fractures in women
and 32% in men. By contrast, the rate of lower leg and ankle fractures was less than 10 per 10 000 in both women and men and
did not increase to the same extent with age. Hip fracture rates appear high, particularly among the older age strata, compared
with retrospective ascertainment in other populations. In Australia, as in many other countries, there is an increasing longevity
of the population. The number of women aged 90 years and over increased by 32% and the number of men of this age increased
by 48% in the 5 years between the Australian national census of 1991 and 1996. Given stable fracture rates, the substantial
health burden imposed by age-related fractures, particularly hip fractures, will continue to escalate in both women and men.

Bone Mineral Density and Vertebral Fractures in Men 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
E. Legrand D. Chappard C. Pascaretti M. Duquenne C. Rondeau Y. Simon V. Rohmer M.-F. Basle M. Audran 《Osteoporosis international》1999,10(4):265-270
In women, many studies indicate that the risk of vertebral fragility fractures increases as bone mineral density (BMD) declines.
In contrast, few studies are available for BMD and vertebral fractures in men. It is uncertain that the strength of the relationship
between BMD and fractures is similar in magnitude in middle-aged men and in postmenopausal women. In the present study, 200
men (mean age 54.7 years) with lumbar osteopenia (T-score <−1.5) were recruited to examine the relationships between spine BMD and hip BMD and the associations of BMD with vertebral
fractures. Lumbar BMD was assessed from L2 to L4, in the anteroposterior view, using dual-energy X-ray densitometry. At the
upper left femur, hip BMD was measured at five regions of interest: femoral neck, trochanter, intertrochanter, Ward’s triangle
and total hip. Spinal radiographs were analyzed independently by two trained investigators and vertebral fracture was defined
as a reduction of at least 20% in the anterior, middle or posterior vertebral height. Spinal radiographs evidenced at least
one vertebral crush fracture in 119 patients (59.5%). The results of logistic regression showed that age, femoral and spine
BMDs were significant predictors of the presence of a vertebral fracture. Odds ratios for a decrease of 1 standard deviation
ranged from 1.8 (1.3–2.8) for spine BMD to 2.3 (1.5–3.6) for total hip BMD. For multiple fractures odds ratios ranged from
1.7 (1.1–2.5) for spine BMD to 2.6 (1.7–4.3) for total hip BMD. In all models, odds ratios were higher for hip BMD than for
spine BMD, particularly in younger men, under 50 years. A T-score <−2.5 in the femur (total femoral site) was associated with a 2.7-fold increase in the risk of vertebral fracture while
a T-score <−2.5 in the spine was associated with only a 2-fold increase in risk. This study confirms the strong association of
age and BMD with vertebral fractures in middle-aged men, shows that the femoral area is the best site of BMD measurement and
suggests that a low femoral BMD could be considered as an index of severity in young men with lumbar osteopenia.

Predicting Fractures Using Bone Mineral Density: A Prospective Study of Long-Term Care Residents 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Bone mineral density (BMD) has been shown to predict fracture risk in community-dwelling older persons; however, no comparable
prospective study has been performed in the long-term care setting where the role of BMD testing is uncertain. To determine
the ability of a single BMD measurement to predict the risk of subsequent fracture in long-term care residents, we designed
a prospective study in a 725-bed long-term care facility. A total of 252 Caucasian nursing home residents (mean age 88 years,
74% women) were recruited between 1992 and 1998. BMD of the hip, radius or both sites was measured using dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry. Participants were followed through September 1999 for the occurrence of fracture. Cox proportional hazards
regression models were constructed to determine the relationship between BMD and the risk of fracture controlling for potentially
confounding variables. Sixty-three incident osteoporotic fractures occurred during a median follow-up time of 2.3 years. The
multivariate-adjusted risk of fracture for each standard deviation decrease in BMD was 2.82 (95% CI 1.81–4.42) at the total
hip, 2.79 (95% CI 1.69–4.61) at the femoral neck, 2.26 (95% CI 1.51–3.38) at the trochanter, 1.83 (95% CI 1.14–2.94) at the
radial shaft and 1.84 (95% CI 1.21–2.80) at the ultradistal radius. Subjects in the lowest age-specific quartile of femoral
neck BMD had over 4 times the incidence of fracture compared with those in the highest quartile. BMD at either hip or radius
was a predictor of osteoporotic fracture, although in women, radial BMD did not predict fracture. Knowledge of BMD in long-term
care residents provides important information on subsequent fracture risk.

There is an increased risk of hip fracture and low bone mass in thin individuals. An association between weight loss and
hip fracture has also been reported. In addition, it has been suggested that weight cycling might lead to bone loss. We studied
weight variability and change in 19938 women and 19151 men who all attended three consecutive health examinations during an
average period of 12 years, and assessed the effect of these on the incidence of hip fracture during a subsequent follow-up.
Mean age at start of follow-up was 48.6 years in women and 48.5 years in men. For each subject weight variability and linear
trend in weight change between the three examinations were assessed by linear regression of weight versus time. The cohort
was followed on average 11.6 years from the third examination with respect to hip fracture. During follow-up, 148 hip fractures
were identified in women and 59 in men. In both sexes, those with most weight variability had increased risk of fracture (relative
risk (RR) = 2.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.24–3.46 in women, and RR = 2.70, 95% CI 1.25–5.86 in men, high vs low quarter
of weight variability). Overall, the effect of weight variability was not affected by adjustment for body mass index and linear
trend in weight change. In men, there was also an association between weight loss and hip fracture. In summary, high weight
variability defined a group with increased risk of hip fracture in this middle-aged cohort. The effect was independent of
body mass index and linear trend in weight change. Whether weight variability leads to increased risk of fracture per se or
whether it defines a group with otherwise increased risk of fracture is not known, and needs further investigation.

There is substantial interest in the early identification of women at risk for osteoporotic fractures, so that preventive
measures may be instituted early. We examined whether women with a history of fractures before menopause were at an increased
risk of fractures after menopause. We obtained information about any lifetime fractures of the hip, arm, spine, wrist, leg,
ankle, foot and finger from 9086 ambulatory white women ages 65 years and older participating in the Study of Osteoporotic
Fractures. We also measured bone mineral density and recorded history of falls, maternal fracture history, drug use, diet,
functional status, and other characteristics commonly associated with osteoporotic fractures. We used proportional hazards
models to estimate the effects of fractures that occurred before menopause on the risk of fractures after menopause, in particular
those that occurred during the 12 years of study follow-up. The risk of fractures of all types during the study period was
greater among women with a premenopausal fracture of any type compared with women without a premenopausal fracture (hazard
ratio (HR), 1.33; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.14–1.56; p<0.001). Adjustment for possible confounders, including bone mineral density, had only a modest effect (HR, 1.25; 95% CI,
1.03–1.50; p<0.02). An increased risk of fracture among women with a premenopausal fracture was also seen after stratification by estrogen
use, propensity to fall and maternal fracture history. Premenopausal fractures are therefore a risk factor for subsequent
fractures independent of other risk factors for osteoporotic fractures, such as bone mineral density. A fracture history,
including fractures before menopause, should be obtained when making decisions about preventive treatments.

Predictors of Fractures in Elderly Women 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

In a prospective study of 348 apparently healthy women, aged 70 years and over (mean 80.3 years), we examined bone mineral
density (BMD), biochemical markers of bone metabolism, and some easily measurable predictors in relation to hip and osteoporotic
fractures. In addition, we constructed risk profiles for hip and osteoporotic fractures. At baseline, BMD at both hips, using
dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body height and body weight were measured. At the same time, serum and urine samples were
obtained for biochemical analysis. Serum samples were analyzed for vitamin D metabolites, sex hormone binding globulin, serum
intact parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, phosphate, albumin, calcium and creatinine. In 2 h fasting
urine, hydroxyproline, type I collagen crosslinked N-telopeptide (NTx) and calcium excretion were measured. Furthermore, easily
measurable predictors, such as previous fracture, body mass index (BMI) and mobility were assessed. During the follow-up period
(mean duration 5.0 years), hip and any osteoporotic fracture (wrist, humerus or hip fracture) occurred in 16 and 33 participants,
respectively. Data were analyzed using Cox regression analysis. BMD of the trochanter (per 1 SD decrease) and previous fracture
were most strongly associated with hip fractures (adjusted relative risk (RR) = 3.0, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4–6.6;
RR = 4.2, 95% CI: 1.5–11.6, respectively) and osteoporotic fractures (RR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1–2.8; RR = 2.9, 95% CI: 1.5–5.7,
respectively). Previous fracture, BMI and mobility were identified as easily measurable predictors for hip fractures, whereas
previous fracture, use of loop diuretics and age were predictors for osteoporotic fractures in the risk profile model. The
risk of fractures can be predicted with three easily measurable predictors. This study confirms the importance of previous
fracture as a predictor for hip fractures and other fractures. It also shows that the use of loop diuretics is a predictor
for osteoporotic fractures.

Survival after Hip Fracture: Short- and Long-Term Excess Mortality According to Age and Gender 总被引:5,自引:5,他引:0

The purpose of this study was to analyze the excess mortality after hip fracture and to reveal whether, and eventually when,
the excess mortality vanished in different groups of age and gender. A population-based, prospective, matched-pair, cohort
study among persons 50 years of age and older was conducted involving 1338 female and 487 male hip fracture patients with
11 086 and 8141 controls respectively. Occurrence of hip fracture and mortality were recorded from 1986 until 1995. We studied
the excess mortality of the hip fracture patients versus controls by using Kaplan–Meier curves and extended Cox regression
with hip fracture (yes/no) as time-dependent covariate. The male hip fracture patients had higher mortality than the women
the first year after the injury, irrespective of age, both in absolute terms (31% and 17% respectively) and relative to their
age-matched controls. The relative risk (RR) of dying within 1 year for hip fracture patients versus controls was 3.3 (95%
confidence interval (CI) 2.1–5.2) for women and 4.2 (95% CI 2.8–6.4) for men below 75 years of age. The corresponding figures
for persons 85 years and older were 1.6 (95% CI 1.2–2.0) for women and 3.1 (95% CI 2.2–4.2) for men. All groups of age and
gender, except women 85 years and older, had a large and significant excess mortality lasting for many years after the hip
fracture – at least 5–6 years for women below 75 years of age (RR = 3.2, 95% CI 1.9–5.6). The excess mortality after hip fracture
for women 85 years and older had vanished after 3 months (RR = 1.0, 95% CI 0.8–1.1). When referring to the excess mortality
after hip fracture it is therefore necessary to specify sex, age and time since injury.

Few studies have examined risk factors for fractures of the wrist, shoulder or ankle. The Blue Mountains Eye Study is a population-based
longitudinal study in 3654 people aged 49 years or older resident in an area west of Sydney, Australia. Detailed eye examinations
and interviews were carried out at baseline (1992–3) and after 5 years (1997–9). Information about fractures sustained during
follow-up were collected by a combination of self-report and a search of hospital radiology records. After 4.7 years follow-up
subjects had sustained 53 fractures of the distal forearm, 20 fractures of the proximal humerus and 33 ankle fractures. In
multivariate models factors independently associated with wrist fractures in women were no vigorous exercise in the past 2
weeks (relative risk RR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2–0.9) and ever use of HRT (RR 0.4, 95% CI 0.1–1.0). Factors independently associated
with ankle fractures were male sex (RR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1–0.8) and visual field loss (RR 2.8, 95% CI 1.2–6.6). These findings
are in keeping with other studies, and suggest that different types of osteoporotic fracture have different, if overlapping,
sets of risk factors.
