Hip fractures and controls selection matched on age, ethnicity and blood draw date.

Multivariable adjustment includes BMI, self-reported health, physical activity, parental history of hip fracture, history of fracture, smoking, alcohol use, NSAID use, treated diabetes, RA, corticosteroid use, and total calcium and vitamin D intake.
