Fracture rates and bone density among postmenopausal veteran and non-veteran women from the Women's Health Initiative.
The authors compared fracture rates and bone mineral density for veterans and non-veterans using Women's Health Initiative data. They found that veterans had higher 10-year probabilities for any major fracture and hip fracture compared with non-veterans, but that risk of fracture at other anatomic sites did not differ by veteran status. They concluded that female veterans had an increased hip fracture rate not explained by differences in well-recognized fracture risk factors.
