Computer model linked to future hip fracture risk
In the Korean cohort, the adjusted model’s risk-ranking score was 0.900, versus 0.802 for age, sex and body mass index, a weight-for-height measure.In the Korean cohort, the adjusted model’s risk-ranking score was 0.900, versus 0.802 for age, sex and body mass index, a weight-for-height measure.
Cohort · 125 peopleHip fracture
Who was studied125 older Korean adults
What changedHip fracture risk was higher (HR 5.70) for each 1-SD increase in modeled fracture probability
The catchThe study did not test whether using the computer model actually reduced fractures
