The incidence of all non-vertebral fractures, as well as the relation to bone mineral density (BMD), was quantified in 7806 men and women from the Rotterdam Study, a prospective, population-based cohort study of men and women aged 55 years and older. In addition, the sensitivity of using a T-score at or below -2.5 for identifying subjects at risk for fractures was assessed.At baseline, between 1990...
Hip geometry and bone mineral density (BMD) have been shown previously to relate, independently of each other, to risk of hip fracture. We used Lunar DPX ''β'' versions of hip strength analysis (HSA) and hip axis length (HAL) software to analyze scans from ten representative age-stratified population samples in the European Prospective Osteoporosis Study (EPOS). All 1617 subjects were >50 years...
Hip fractures constitute a major health problem. For effective prevention, high-risk groups need to be identified. The objective here was to develop hip fracture risk scores while assessing the added value of bone mineral density relative to more conventional risk indicators. We prospectively followed during 4 years a cohort of 5208 persons (2193 men) aged 55 years and over from the Rotterdam Study,...
We studied the association between insulin and glucose levels and bone mineral density (BMD) in a population based study of 5931 elderly men and women. Serum insulin was measured 2 h after a nonfasting oral glucose load in subjects not using antidiabetes medication. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in the lumbar spine and the proximal femur. In addition, the participants were...
