  		Figure 1. Two-year cumulative incidence of hip fracture, fragility fracture, and total mortality, divided into tertiles of women with 0, 1, or 2 to 4 risk factors.

Note: Risk assessment with 0, 1, or 2 to 4 risk factors among age =80 years, weight <60 kg, previous fragility fracture, and using arms to rise. The proportions of women with 0, 1, and 2 to 4 risk factors were 30%, 34%, and 37%, respectively.

  		Figure 2. Two-year cumulative incidence of hip fracture and total mortality according to number of risk factors.

Note: Hip fracture and total mortality for women with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 risk factors among age =80 years, weight <60 kg, previous fragility fracture, and using arms to rise. The proportions of women in these groups were 30%, 34%, 22%, 12%, and 3%, respectively.

  		Figure 3. FRAMO Index 2-year cumulative hazard for hip fracture.

FRAMO = Fracture and Mortality.

Note: In these Kaplan-Meier curves, women were excluded after death or first hip fracture.
