History of Falls Predicts Future Fractures in Postmenopausal Women
A history of falls, especially injurious falls, predicts subsequent fractures in postmenopausal women.
Fracture
Faster Bone Turnover in Menopause Linked to Incident Fracture Risk
Faster increases in bone turnover during the menopausal transition are associated with an increased risk for fracture postmenopause.
Type 2 Diabetes Linked to Higher Risk for Vertebral Fractures
Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at higher risk for sustaining an incident vertebral fracture (VF) compared with individuals without T2D.
Meta-Analysis: Nonbisphosphonates Reduce Fracture Risk in Osteoporosis
Nonbisphosphonates, including denosumab, raloxifene, romosozumab, and teriparatide, significantly reduce vertebral fractures and benefit femoral neck bone mineral density compared with placebo.
Physical Activity May Lower Postmenopausal Fracture Risk
For postmenopausal women, physical activity is associated with reduced risks for total fracture and hip fracture.
Marked Heterogeneity in Osteoporosis Treatment Preferences Found Among Patients
In patients with osteoporosis, treatment preference varies but is not related to specific patient characteristics.
Medicare Spends More Than $6 Billion on Secondary Fractures
Medicare could save billions of dollars if secondary fractures could be prevented with improved osteoporosis screening.
Inclusion of Additional Clinical Factors Does Not Improve FRAX Performance in Postmenopausal Women
Researchers sought to assess the ability of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool to discriminate between women who do and do not experience major osteoporotic fractures.
Effects of Canagliflozin on Fracture Risk in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Researchers found no clear explanation for the association between the use of canagliflozin and increased fracture risk in the CANVAS Program.
Does Osteoporosis Treatment Reduce Overall Mortality in Addition to Fracture Risk?
The meta-analysis included 101,642 patients with osteoporosis.
