Traditional Cox Proportional Hazards Models and Subdistribution Models for Association of Weight Change with Central Body Fracture

Hazard Ratio (95% CI)
Weight Loss
≥10%
Weight Loss
5% to <10%
Stable Weight
(Loss or Gain <5%)
Weight Gain ≥5%
Central body fracture (n=337)* (N= 283) (N= 742) (N= 3,076) (N= 422)
