AUCs calculated using binomial (all fractures) or multinomial (specific fractures) logistic regression. The base model m includes age + height + site. Significance (based on DEV) is given for p < 0.005, based on the model compared to am, bm + CBM, or cthe same model without CBM variables. The last 4 models were selected postanalysis: “all DXA” includes all 4 listed DXA variables; “all QCT” includes all 9 listed QCT variables; “Combined model 1”28 is m + DXA FnBMD + QCT trabecular FnBMD; and “Combined model 2”18 is m + DXA FnBMD and ThBMD + all 3 QCT trabecular BMD values.

AUC = area under the receiver‐operating characteristic curve; DEV = deviance.
