Table 3.
Risk of fracture with height loss >5 cm over 40 years, assessed at Year 0 exam (Using self-reported age 25 height as initial height; N=9,704)
| Hip Fracture | Non-spine Fracture | Mortality | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total events | n=228 | n=1554 | n=700 |
| Models:a | Hazard Ratios (95% CI) | ||
| Multivariate | 1.70 (1.29, 2.25) | 1.36 (1.21, 1.52) | 1.34 (1.13, 1.58) |
| Multivariate + VFxb | 1.40 (1.04, 1.87) | 1.22 (1.09, 1.38) | 1.31 (1.11, 1.56) |
| Multivariate + VFxb + BMDc | 1.08 (0.76, 1.54) | 1.15 (1.01, 1.32) | 1.41 (1.09, 1.83) |
a
All models adjusted for Year 0 age, weight, smoking, walking for exercise, and self-reported health (excellent/good vs. fair/poor); mean follow-up for fractures and mortality was 5 years after the Year 0 exam (to allow comparison of the analytic cohort with similar follow-up time)
b
VFx = prevalent vertebral fracture at Year 0 exam (when final height measured)
c
BMD=bone mineral density by DXA at Year 2 exam
