NPV = negative predictive value; PPV = positive predictive value; CI = confidence interval; FRAMO = Fracture and Mortality.
Note: Hypothesis tested by the Fisher exact test. Risk model 1 (FRAMO Index): age =80 years, weight <60 kg, previous fragility fracture, and using arms when rising at least 5 times from sitting position.* Risk model 2: age =80 years, weight <60 kg, previous fragility fracture, and falls during the past 12 months. Women with missing data were recoded as having a low fracture risk; therefore, data for all 1,248 women were included in the Fisher exact 2-sided test and the binary logistic regression analysis.
* Previous fragility fractures: fractures in the hip, lower arm, upper arm, or vertebrae after age 40 years.
† Included reported vertebral fractures from responses to the radiograph question in the Vislanda population.
P <.001.
§ P <.01.
|| Fragility fractures: fractures of the hip, distal radius, proximal humerus, pubic bone, ischial bone, or vertebrae during 2002–2003. ¶ Data for all types of fragility fractures were obtained only for the Vislanda and Tingsryd populations (n = 853).
# P <.05.
