| Fracture type | Residential status | RR | 95 % CI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hip | Community dwelling | 0·91 | 0·77, 1·09 |
| Nursing home | 0·75 | 0·62, 0·92 | |
| Other femur | * | 0·86 | 0·78, 0·96 |
| Clinical vertebral | * | 0·89 | 0·74, 1·09 |
| Wrist | * | 0·86 | 0·78, 0·96 |
| Humerus | * | 0·86 | 0·78, 0·96 |
| Pelvis | * | 0·86 | 0·78, 0·96 |
RR, relative risk.

Independent of residential status, RR and 95 % CI are identical for all non-vertebral fractures.
