Prediction model used to determine who has lateral spine imaging to look for prevalent vertebral fracture

**

Pre-test probability of PVFx cutpoint at and above which lateral spine imaging would be done

^

Proportion above the cutpoint according to the prediction model who would have spine imaging

#

Model 1: Age and Femoral Neck BMD

&

Model 2: Age, Femoral Neck BMD, and historical height loss

##

Model 3: Age, Femoral Neck BMD, historical height loss, prior non-vertebral fracture, body mass index, presence of and limitations from back pain, and grip strength

&&

Model 4: Age, Femoral Neck BMD, historical height loss, prior non-vertebral fracture, body mass index, presence of and limitations from back pain, grip strength, smoking, and glucocorticoid use

%

Analyses limited to men with did not self-report prior spine fracture at the baseline visit and with femoral neck BMD T-score ≤ −1.0
