Final Multivariate Cox Proportional Hazards Model for Hip Fracture, Including Humeral Fracture as a Risk Factor (N = 6921 Subjects)

Risk Factor Hazard Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) P Value
Total hip bone mineral density (per 1 standard deviation decrease*) 2.08 (1.91 to 2.27) <0.001
Self-reported health status (on a scale of 1-5) 1.24 (1.12 to 1.38) <0.001
Height at age of 25 yr (per 10 cm) 1.39 (1.22 to 1.59) <0.001
History of falls 1.29 (1.10 to 1.52) 0.002
Depth perception (per 10 times standard deviation of 4 Howard-Dolman optical distance scores) 1.53 (1.19 to 1.97) 0.001
Non-humeral fracture 1.28 (1.06 to 1.55) 0.01
Humeral fracture 1.57 (1.12 to 2.19) 0.009

1 standard deviation = 0.133 g/cm2.
