Racial Disparity in Composite Outcome by Fracture Type

Outcome	Femur	Hip	Humerus	Pelvis	Radius/Ulna	Clinical Vertebral
Death	11	14	17	23	35	74
Debility	36	65	74	−94	833	244
Destitution	20	14	16	33	44	38
Composite	8	11	12	28	28	45

Note. The racial disparity calculated as [1,000/(IR_Black - IR_White)] summarizes the expected number of black and white women with fracture to follow for 1 year to observe one additional adverse outcome among black women. The smaller the number, the greater the disparity between the races in the outcomes after fracture.
