The differences in osteoporosis risk factors and rates or fracture and antiresorptive therapy use in women who did and did not participate in an osteoporosis screening program, are described. Participants had reduced hip fracture rate and increased initiation of antiresorptive therapy compared with nonparticipants.

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.

This study evaluated the accuracy of 2 administrative claims-based selection rules to identify patients with hypertension (HTN) using medical records as the gold standard.

The integration of bone density testing into well-designed fracture prevention programs that can be applied in populations has not been studied.

The relationship of low bone mass and fracture in younger postmenopausal women has not been extensively studied. In a large cohort of postmenopausal women ≥50 years of age, we found the relationship of BMD measured at peripheral sites and subsequent 1‐year fracture risk to be similar between women <65 and those ≥65 years of age.

This study assessed the relationships between strength and ambulatory function, and balance and ambulatory function in communitydwelling older adults.
