► Faster self-perceived walking speed was associated with fewer falls and fractures in women. ► A history of falls increases fracture risk after adjustment for clinical risk factors and bone mineral density. ► Study findings accord with the recommendations of the FRAX Clinical Task Force suggesting falls are accounted for alongside FRAX.
The FRAX tr algorithm uses clinical risk factors (CRF) and bone mineral density (BMD) to predict fracture risk but does not include falls history in the calculation. Using results from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study, we examined the relative contributions of CRFs, BMD and falls history to fracture prediction. We studied 2299 participants at a baseline clinic that included completion of a health...
