BMD at Multiple Sites and Risk of Fracture of Multiple Types: Long‐Term Results From the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures

In a large cohort of U.S. women aged 65 and older, we report the relationships of BMD measured at several sites, and subsequent fracture risk at multiple sites over >8 years of follow‐up. Although we found almost all fracture types to be related to low BMD, the overall proportion of fractures attributable to low BMD is modest.
