Abstract
Six hundred and fifty-four men had their bone mineral content (BMC) measured with single photon absorptiometry during 1970–1976. All roentgenograms 1975–1985 (11 years) were registered and thus all falls requiring roentgen examinations. BMC was found to be of predictive value in ages below 70–80 with regard to future fragility fractures. Other characteristics were more falls, less grip strength, and weight. A history of previous vertebral fracture and cerebral disorder were also predictive. Men with only nonfragility fractures showed no differences compared to the nonfracture population.
