Fig 2 Adjusted hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval for baseline history of rib fracture (n=5879) in MrOS Study. Adjusted for hip bone mineral density, age ≥80, arthritis, and difficulty with five instrumental activities of daily living. Among all locations for a non-spine fracture combined, eight fracture locations accounted for 70% of fractures: 106 first incident fractures occurred in the rib, 85 in the hip, 54 at the ankle, 29 at the wrist, 29 at the clavicle, 28 in the arm, 28 in the foot, and 24 in the fingers. Adjusted hazard ratios were 1.85 (95% CI 1.52 to 2.26) for any fracture, 2.06 (1.14 to 3.70) for wrist fracture, 2.05 (1.33 to 3.15) for hip fracture, and 2.71 (1.86 to 3.95) for rib fracture
