Patients with improved health understanding have greater autonomy over, and motivation towards, health-related lifestyles. We compared self-perceived fracture risk and 3-year incident fracture rates in postmenopausal women for a range of co-morbid diseases using data from the Global Longitudinal study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW).GLOW is an international cohort study involving 723 physician practices across 10 countries in Europe, North America, Austr...

Hip and forearm fractures are the two clinically most important non-vertebral fractures. Twin studies have demonstrated a high heritability of these fractures and the heritable component of fracture risk is largely independent of BMD.To identify common genetic variants associated with hip and forearm fractures, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS ~ 2.5 million SNPs) meta-analysis of two large fracture data sets within the well-characterize...
