Two case–control studies were designed to investigate the contribution of the geometry and bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur to bone strength in Japanese elderly women. We also investigated whether clinical CT is useful to assess the risk of hip fracture. Subjects in the neck fracture study included 20 Japanese women with neck fracture (age: mean±SD; 80.1±4.5 years old) and 20 age-matched...
We studied whether vigorous physical activity in young adulthood is associated with higher femoral bone density and lower risk of hip fracture at older age in men.A cohort of former male elite athletes (n=2147) and matched control subjects (n=1467) were studied for their leisure physical activity, and for fragility fractures at the hip (proximal femur) by Cox regression. Areal bone mineral densities...
Areal BMD (aBMD) derived from DXA is currently the gold standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis. A biomechanical approach to fracture risk assessment comparing the ratio of applied load to bone strength, termed the factor of risk (Φ), may be useful to better identify patients at risk for fracture. We obtained 73 human cadaveric femurs (48 women and 25 men, aged 74.2±8.7 years, range 55–98 years), measured...
There is a substantial variation in hip fracture incidence between populations. The Scandinavian countries have the highest incidence of hip fractures worldwide, and latitude and seasonal variation have been discussed as possible reasons for the high fracture incidences. The purpose of this study was to investigate time dependent and seasonal variation of hip fractures in a population based cohort...
