Kidney function and its association to imminent, short- and long-term fracture risk —a longitudinal study in older women

ConclusionOlder women with mild-moderate reduction of kidney function are at increased risk of fractures, but not those with the worst function. Our findings furthermore confirm the value of osteoporosis assessment and it is possible that in this age group, age-related decline of kidney function has limited contribution compared with BMD.
