The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women (2007, neutral): “Conversely, for BMI, a significant interaction was noted with age in the meta-analysis (i.e., an increase in risk ratio of low BMI for osteoporotic fracture with age) [ 15 ], but was no longer significant in any model, and the interaction term was dropped from the hazard functions for fracture.”
An overview and management of osteoporosis. (2017, background): “There are some other factors that increase fracture risk and osteoporosis, independent of bone mineral density (BMD) (17): - Age of the patient (18) - A low body mass index (BMI<21 kg/m2) is a significant risk factor for hip fracture (19).”
European guidance for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (2008, methodology): “The risk factors that are used for clinical assessment with FRAX are summarised in Table 5 [8, 38, 60–65].”
Assessment of fracture risk (2005, background): “In the case of hip fracture risk, a modest risk persists after adjustment for BMD [40].”
Discrepancies in bone mineral density and fracture risk in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes—a meta-analysis (2007, background): “Actually if BMI is introduced, BMD loses much of its significance for fracture risk [44].”
Critical review: vegetables and fruit in the prevention of chronic diseases (2012, background): “Body mass or body composition parameters, respectively, are putative risk factors [188, 189].”
Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis, lumbar spondylosis, and osteoporosis in Japanese men and women: the research on osteoarthritis/osteoporosis against disability study (2009, neutral): “Conversely, a small body build is frequently associated with occurrence of OP [ 27 ]; therefore, in this case, our results might represent an overestimation.”
Case finding for the management of osteoporosis with FRAX®—assessment and intervention thresholds for the UK (2008, background): “These were low body mass index (BMI <19 kg/m(2); in part dependent on BMD) [14], a prior fragility fracture [15], a parental history of hip fracture [16], long-term use (e.”
