Cox proportional hazard model for risk of overall mortality in women with height loss >5 cm over 15 years (between Year 0 and 15) compared with women with height loss ≤5 cm. Model is adjusted for age, weight, smoking, walking for exercise, and self-reported health (excellent/good vs. fair/poor), incident VFx during the same period as height loss, and BMD (n=3,124 total women). Mean follow-up for mortality after measured height loss is 5.2 years.
