 Relation of wrist fracture to clinically important functional decline

Adjustment factors Odds ratio of clinically significant functional decline related to incident wrist fracture (95% CI)*
Unadjusted 1.51 (1.05 to 2.14)
Adjusted for age, body mass index, health status 1.66 (1.17 to 2.36)
Adjusted for age, body mass index, health status, comorbidities†, and neuromuscular function‡ 1.48 (1.04 to 2.12)

*Multiple logistic regression analysis showing odds ratio for functional decline in next year for people with incident wrist fracture compared with those without wrist fracture.

†Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arthritis, diabetes mellitus, stroke, Parkinson’s disease.
