DOI: 10.1007/s00198-019-05270-6
Abstract: Summary A reduction in hip fracture incidence following population screening might reflect the effectiveness of anti-osteoporosis therapy, behaviour change to reduce falls, or both. This post hoc analysis demonstrates that identifying high hip fracture risk… read more here.

DOI: 10.1123/japa.2022-0057
Abstract: Falls risk is often assessed without considering exposure to risk. We examined the risk factors associated with falls in those with greater and lower levels of daily step count. Falls were recorded over 12Â months using… read more here.
