Older men who sustain a hip fracture experience greater declines in bone mineral density at the contralateral hip than non-fractured comparators

摘要

SummaryMen experience declining bone mineral density (BMD) after hip fracture; however, changes attributable to fracture are unknown. This study evaluated the excess BMD decline attributable to hip fracture among older men. Older men with hip fracture experienced accelerated BMD declines and are at an increased risk of secondary fractures.
