Abstract

There are few data exploring clustering of osteoporotic fractures within families. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of maternal and paternal history of hip fracture on the risk of vertebral deformity. 12,816 men and women aged 50 to 75 years were recruited from population based sampling frames across Europe. Subjects were invited to attend by letter of invitation for an interviewer administered questionnaire and lateral spinal radiographs. Vertebral deformity was defined morphometrically using the McCloskey-Kanis method. 6.4% of men and 7.1% of women reported that their mother had suffered a hip fracture, while 1.7% of both men and women reported that their father had suffered a hip fracture. A maternal history of hip fracture was associated with a modest increased risk of vertebral deformity in men [odds ratio (OR) 1.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-1.8], the risk being greater among those aged 65 years and over (OR = 1.5; 95% CI 1.0-2.4) and in those from low prevalence areas. There was no increased risk in women. Paternal history of hip fracture was not associated with vertebral deformity in either sex. In conclusion, maternal history of hip fracture appears to be a risk factor for vertebral deformity, particularly in men.

Abstract

Lean body stature and tallness have both been identified as risk factors for hip fracture. In this study, height and weight data from a multinational multicenter study were used' to compare Oslo, which has some of the highest incidence rates of hip fracture ever reported, to other regions of Europe, with respect to height and body mass index. More than 17, 000 subjects in six age strata (50–54, 55–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70–74, 75+ years) from 36 centers in 19 European countries were enrolled in the European Vertebral Osteoporosis Study (EVOS), which included standardized height and weight measurements. We found that men in Oslo were 4.3 cm taller than men in western Europe, 5.0 cm taller than men in eastern Europe, and 8.6 cm taller than men in southern Europe. Oslo women were also taller, by 2.2 cm compared to women in western Europe, 2.7 cm compared to women in eastern Europe, and 5.2 cm compared to women in southern Europe. In all age groups, except women aged 55–59 years, mean body mass index (BMI) was lowest in Oslo. Nearly twice as many had a BMI less than 22.0 kg/m2 in Oslo compared to the other regions combined (11.1% vs. 6.6% in men and 19.2% vs. 9.9% in women). This study indicates that the people of Oslo are taller and leaner than people in other regions of Europe. This may in part explain the higher incidence of hip fracture in the population of Oslo.
