Geographic variation of bone mineral density and selected risk factors for prediction of incident fracture among Canadians 50 and older
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Striking geographic variation in the incidence of osteoporotic fracture has been shown in national and international studies. The contributing risk factors for this variation are not fully understood.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the geographic variation of bone mineral density (BMD) values, prevalent low-trauma fracture, prior falls, and vertebral deformity and to determine how this variation is related to the geographic variation of …
