Factors Associated With Fracture Risk in Middle Age Identified
Several factors have been identified that increase the likelihood of experiencing a fracture in middle age, including female sex and a low level of leisure-time physical activity.

Sydney AFF Score Quickly and Accurately Detects Atypical Femur Fractures in Women
The Sydney AFF Score is a tool to help differentiate atypical from typical femur fractures in women, independent of bisphosphonate use.
Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Have Trabecular Bone Fragility Due to Alterations in Bone Structure and Composition
Patients with type 2 diabetes face up to a three-fold increased risk of hip fracture, despite adequate areal bone mineral density which may underestimate fracture risk in these patients.
Men With Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis at Higher Risk for Vertebral Fractures
The objective of this study was to analyze the risk of incident vertebral and nonvertebral fracture in men with DISH.
Risks After Denosumab Discontinuation Linked to Age and Prior Therapy
Researchers sought to identify potential vertebral fracture and bone loss risk factors after discontinuation of denosumab therapy and initiation of other therapy.
Managing Osteoporotic and Fragility Fractures During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Several studies have assessed the potentially increased rate and the management of osteoporotic and fragility fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vascular Calcification in COPD Affects Bone Mineral Density, Increases Fractures
Researchers evaluated the association between osteoporosis and vertebral fragility fractures with cardiovascular calcification in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Increased Risk for Atypical Femur Fracture With Longer Bisphosphonate Use in Women
Researchers evaluated the association between risk for atypical fracture and duration of bisphosphonate use in women with osteoporosis.
Risk for Fractures Unaffected by SGLT2 Inhibitor Use in Type 2 Diabetes
The use of sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors combined with metformin did not affect fracture risk in T2D.
Orthogeriatric Care Increases Osteoporosis Treatment in Older Patients With Hip Fracture
In this systematic review, the study authors evaluated the current evidence on orthogeriatric care for older patients with hip fracture.
