TABLE V.
Risk of a Hip Fracture Over Time Following a Humeral Fracture
| Period | Hazard Ratio, Adjusted for Age and Bone Mineral Density (95% Confidence Interval) | Hazard Ratio, Adjusted for Age, Bone Mineral Density, and Variables from the Final Multivariate Model* (95% Confidence Interval) |
|---|---|---|
| Before humeral fracture | 1.00 | 1.00 |
| 1st yr after humeral fracture | 6.16 (4.01 to 9.44) | 5.68 (3.70 to 8.73) |
| 1-5 yr after humeral fracture | 1.16 (0.67 to 2.02) | 0.87 (0.48 to 1.59) |
| >5 yr after humeral fracture | 0.64 (0.24 to 1.71) | 0.58 (0.22 to 1.56) |
Self-reported health status, height at the age of twenty-five years, a history of recent falls, depth perception, and a history of non-humeral, non-hip fracture.
