Estimates based on results from time-to-event meta-analyses of fracture cohort studies and life-table analyses applied to age- and sex-specific U.S. vital statistics for 2004 (32). The upper and lower 95% CIs of the pooled relative hazards were used to compute the corresponding upper and lower 95% CIs of excess mortality.
