Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 56 bone mineral density loci and reveals 14 loci associated with risk of fracture
…, J Prezelj, LM Rose, S Scollen, K Siggeirsdottir… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
Bone mineral density (BMD) is the most widely used predictor of fracture risk. We performed
the largest meta-analysis to date on lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD, including 17 …

Imminent risk of fracture after fracture
The risk of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) after a first MOF is increased over the whole
duration of follow-up, but the imminent risk is even higher. If the acute increment in risk in the …
