Table 2. Effect of diabetes (hazard ratio [HR] with 95% confidence interval [CI]) on incident major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) or incident hip fracture (HF) controlled for fracture probability using unadjusted FRAX (referent) and four adjustments applied to those with diabetes.

Diabetes, any duration
N = 4136
Diabetes <5 years
N = 1323
Diabetes 5-10 years
N = 922
Diabetes >10 years
N = 1891
HR (95% CI) HR (95% CI) HR (95% CI) HR (95% CI)
