Incidence of clinically diagnosed vertebral fractures: A population-based study in rochester, minnesota, 1985-1989

Abstract: Vertebral fractures are the classic hallmark of osteoporosis, yet little is known of their epidemiology. The incidence of clinically diagnosed vertebral fractures was therefore directly assessed in the predominantly white (European descent) population of Rochester, Minnesota. Altogether, 341 Rochester residents were radiologically diagnosed for the first time with one or more vertebral fractures in the 5 year study period, 1985-1989. The overall age- and sex-adjusted incidence rate was 117 per 100,000 person-y… Show more

“…However, studies focusing on symptomatic fractures have a disadvantage in that only one-third of all vertebral fractures come to clinical attention (46). Identifying prevalent vertebral fractures is important, since prevalent vertebral deformities are associated with reduced quality of life (47), an increased mortality rate, and an increased risk of future fractures in the general population (48).…”

“…This is likely due to difficulty in identifying VFs, as most are clinically silent. (13) Furthermore, most studies that assessed VF risk in T2DM included only women. The Iowa Women's Health Study reported increased risk of clinical vertebral fracture in subjects with T2DM (adjusted relative risk [RR], 1.43; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.97).…”
