摘要
Available epidemiological information on the associations body anthropometry and the incidence of fractures in men is limited, We therefore prospectively investigated the association between body anthropometry the incidence of hip and wrist fractures from moderate trauma among 43,053 men who were years to 75 years of age in 1986 when they first enrolled the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, After of follow-up, 201 wrist fracture cases and 56 fracture cases were reported, Greater height was associated with significant elevations in both hip and fractures, whereas nonsignificant inverse associations observed with weight and body mass index, the highest quintile of waist circumference had a risk (RR) of 2.57 (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.3) for hip fracture and 2.05 (95% CP 1.06 to for wrist fracture when compared with men in the quintile, Waist-to-hip ratio was also positively refracture incidence; comparing highest with lowest quintile, the RRs were 3.92 (95% CI 1.07 to 14.3) for fracture and 1.50) (95% CI 0.85 to 2.66) for wrist fracture, These anthropometric indicators, in particular waist-to-hip ratio, may be useful for the prediction of hip fracture in adult men.
