The models provide a framework which enhances the assessment of fracture risk in both men and women by the integration of clinical risk factors alone and/or in combination with BMD.

World-wide Projections for Hip Fracture
- B. Gullberg, O. Johnell, J. Kanis

It is concluded that the socioeconomic impact of hip fractures will increase markedly throughout the world, particularly in Asia, and that there is an urgent need to develop preventive strategies,particularly in the developing countries.
Body mass index as a predictor of fracture risk: A meta-analysis
- C. Laet, J. Kanis, A. Tenenhouse

- 1 June 2005
It is concluded that low BMI confers a risk of substantial importance for all fractures that is largely independent of age and sex, but dependent on BMD.
Meta-analysis of how well measures of bone mineral density predict occurrence of osteoporotic fractures

- 18 May 1996
Measurements of bone mineral density can predict fracture risk but cannot identify individuals who will have a fracture, and a programme of screening menopausal women for osteoporosis by measuring bone density cannot be recommended.
Long-Term Risk of Osteoporotic Fracture in Malmö
- J. Kanis, O. Johnell, B. Jônsson
- MedicineOsteoporosis International
- 2000
It is concluded that fractures of the hip and spine carry higher risks than fractures at other sites, and that lifetime risks of fracture of the hips in particular have been underestimated.
The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women
- J. Kanis, A. Odén, N. Yoshimura
- MedicineOsteoporosis International
- 24 February 2007
BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures with higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone and provide the basis for the integrated use of validated Clinical risk factors in men and women to aid in fracture risk prediction.
Predictive Value of BMD for Hip and Other Fractures
- O. Johnell, J. Kanis, A. Tenenhouse
- MedicineJournal of Bone and Mineral Research
- 1 July 2005
The relationship between BMD and fracture risk was estimated in a meta‐analysis of data from 12 cohort studies of ∼39,000 men and women. Low hip BMD was an important predictor of fracture risk. The…
Mortality after osteoporotic fractures
- O. Johnell, J. Kanis, B. Jönsson
- MedicineOsteoporosis International
- 2004
The risk of death is increased in patients with osteoporotic fractures and that the highest risk is found immediately after the fracture event, with a decrease in deaths causally related to the fracture.
