Vertebral Fractures and Mortality in Older Women

چکیده
Results:Atbaseline,1915women(20.0%)werediagnosed as having vertebral fractures. Compared with women who did not have a vertebral fracture, women with 1 or more fractureshada1.23-foldgreaterage-adjustedmortality rate (95% confidence interval, 1.10-1.37). Mortality rose with greater numbers of vertebral fractures, from 19 per 1000 woman-years in women with no fractures to 44 per 1000 woman-years in thosewith5ormore fractures (P for trend, ,.001). Inparticular,vertebral fractureswererelated to the riskofsubsequentcancer(hazardratio,1.4;95%confidence interval, 1.1-1.7) and pulmonary death (hazard ratio, 2.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-3.0). In the subset of women who underwent thoracic curvature measurements, severe kyphosis was also related to pulmonary deaths (hazard ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-5.1).

Clinical fractures predict increased mortality risk, but few studies report mortality based on prevalent radiographically defined vertebral fracture. This study examined whether radiographically defined vertebral fracture is a risk factor for mortality in older adults. The 1,580 participants in California (631 men, 949 women) were aged > or =50 years in 1992-1996. Lateral spine radiographs, and...

متن کاملPopulation-Wide Impact of Non-Hip Non-Vertebral Fractures on Mortality.
Data on long-term consequences of non-hip non-vertebral (NHNV) fractures, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all fragility fractures, are scanty. Our study aimed to quantify the population-wide impact of NHNV fractures on mortality. The national population-based prospective cohort study (Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study) included 5526 community dwelling women and 2163 men aged 50...
