Controlled for different comorbidities for each model: office = high cholesterol and emphysema; hospital = hypertension, cholesterol, asthma, emphysema and diabetes; surgery = hypertension, heart disease, cholesterol, emphysema and osteoarthritis; nursing home/rehab = hypertension, heart disease, cholesterol, emphysema, osteoarthritis and diabetes. Controlled for eight fracture types in each adjusted model: wrist, spine, rib, hip, pelvis, ankle, upper and lower leg
