Spine fracture prevalence in a nationally representative sample of US women and men aged ≥40 years: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014
Spine fracture prevalence is similar in men and women, increasing from <5 % in those <60 to 11 % in those 70–79 and 18 % in those ≥80 years. Prevalence was higher with age, lower bone mineral density (BMD), an...
