Abstract

Abstract The relationship between BMD and fracture risk was estimated in a meta-analysis of data from 12 cohort studies of ∼39,000 men and women. Low hip BMD was an important predictor of fracture risk. The prediction of hip fracture with hip BMD also depended on age and z score. Introduction: The a...
