Partial body fat percentage was not clearly linked with hip fracture in humans (OR 4.19 (95% CI 0.43, 41.46)).
“Hip fractures were not predicted by our model [OR 4.19 (95% CI 0.43, 41.46)].”

Partial body fat percentage is linked with a higher risk of fragility fracture in humans (obese high PBF%) (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.22-1.42).

Partial body fat percentage predicts non-hip fracture in humans (OR 22.14 (95% CI 15.08, 32.50)).
“PBF% was shown to predict all non-hip fractures after adjustment [odds ratio (OR) 22.14 (95% CI 15.08, 32.50)].”
