Fracture distribution in postmenopausal women: a FRISBEE sub-study

ConclusionThe increase of fracture incidence with age varied widely depending on the fracture site, and the ratio of MOFs to non-MOFs rose significantly with age. Some peripheral fractures, such as the ankle, did not increase significantly with age, suggesting that bone fragility does not play a major role in their occurrence.
