Situational risk factors for fall-related vertebral fractures in older men and women

Osteoporosis International Jan 11, 2021

Yu WY, Hwang HF, Chen CY, et al. - Researchers performed a matched case-control study to evaluate the impacts of situational factors, in addition to predisposing factors, on clinical vertebral fractures in older men and women in Taiwan. The study included a total of 64 men (age range: 65 ~ 99 years) and 194 women (age range: 65 ~ 100 years), diagnosed with a vertebral fracture. They separately conducted the multivariable logistic models for men and women. This study’s findings demonstrate that a combination of predisposing and situational risk factors may exhibit a more comprehensive risk profile for the occurrence of vertebral fractures (VFs), and therefore, interventions that add both types of risk factors may result in greater risk reduction of VFs, although those specifically targeted at situational risk factors during falls are limited and their efficacy and efficiency remained to be evaluated.
