Dysmobility syndrome independently increases fracture risk in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) prospective cohort study
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research Jun 28, 2018
Buehring B, et al. - In the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) study, the researchers investigated whether dysmobility syndrome (DS) was associated with increased risk of incident fracture. This investigation recruited 5994 men ages ≥65 years, between March 2000 and April 2002. Baseline data were used to determine whether DS increased fracture risk, independent of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated that men with both DS and a FRAX risk above the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) treatment thresholds had higher major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture risk than men with neither condition.
