Mortality after all major types of osteoporotic fracture in men and women: an observational study
TL;DR: All major fractures were associated with increased mortality, especially in men, and the loss of potential years of life in the younger age-group shows that preventative strategies for fracture should not focus on older patients at the expense of younger women and of men.

TL;DR: It is shown that common allelic variants in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor can be used to predict differences in bone density, accounting for up to 75% of the total genetic effect on bone density in healthy individuals.

TL;DR: 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.

Mortality Risk Associated With Low-Trauma Osteoporotic Fracture and Subsequent Fracture in Men and Women
TL;DR: In a sample of older women and men, all low-trauma fractures were associated with increased mortality risk for 5 to 10 years, and the association of subsequent fracture with that risk remained higher than in the general population.

TL;DR: 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 and low hip BMD was an important predictor of fracture risk.
