BMD, clinical risk factors and their combination for hip fracture prevention
This study examined the effects of the use of clinical risk factors (CRFs) alone, BMD alone or the combination using the FRAX® tool for the detection of women at risk of hip fracture. BMD tests alone selected ...

The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women
BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures. The combination of clinical risk factors and BMD provide higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone.

At what hip fracture risk is it cost-effective to treat?
Intervention thresholds (ITs), the 10-year hip fracture risk at which treatment can be considered to be cost-effective, have previously been estimated for Sweden and the UK.

Article
Whom to treat? The contribution of vertebral X-rays to risk-based algorithms for fracture prediction. Results from the European Prospective Osteoporosis Study
Vertebral fracture is a strong risk factor for future spine and hip fractures; yet recent data suggest that only 5–20% of subjects with a spine fracture are identified in primary care. We aimed to develop easi...

The cost-effectiveness of risedronate in the treatment of osteoporosis: an international perspective
Risedronate, a bisphosphonate for treatment and prevention of osteoporosis, has been shown in several clinical trials to reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The cost-effecti...

Risk factors for fragility fracture in middle age. A prospective population-based study of 33,000 men and women
The incidence of fragility fractures begins to increase in middle age. We investigated prospectively risk factors for low-energy fractures in men and women, and specifically for forearm, proximal humerus, vert...

The use of multiple sites for the diagnosis of osteoporosis
It has been suggested that bone mineral density (BMD) measurements should be made at multiple sites, and that the lowest T–score should be taken for the purpose of diagnosing osteoporosis.

Risedronate decreases fracture risk in patients selected solely on the basis of prior vertebral fracture
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of risedronate (5 mg/daily) in patients identified solely on the basis of a prior fragility fracture, without BMD as an inclusion criterion. A total of 1,802 pa...
