Impact of Recent Fracture on Health‐Related Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women

The effect of fractures other than hip and spine on HRQoL in younger and older women has not been extensively studied. In a cohort of 86,128 postmenopausal women, we found the impact of recent osteoporosis‐related fractures on HRQoL to be similar between women <65 compared with those ≥65 years of age. The impact of spine, hip, or rib fractures was greater than that of wrist fractures in both age groups.
