Dimorphism in axial and appendicular dimensions, cortical and trabecular microstructure and matrix mineral density in Chinese and Caucasian women
2019, BoneCitation Excerpt :However, resistance to fracturing of a smaller skeleton may be achieved by assembling it more robustly during growth; forming thicker cortices relative to the total cross-sectional area with lower porosity and thicker more connected trabeculae of the metaphyseal region in Chinese [5]. Shorter stature or leg length in Chinese may also be associated with better balance and a lower impact following a fall [6]. Quantification of racial differences in bone microstructure is challenging because meticulous attention is needed in choosing the region of interest (ROI) [7].
The circumstances, orientations, and impact locations of falls in community-dwelling older women
2017, Archives of Gerontology and GeriatricsCitation Excerpt :Some previous studies required weekly (Maki et al., 1994) or biweekly (Berg et al., 1997) reports of falls. However, other studies had participants return reports on a monthly basis (Campbell et al., 1990; Freiberger & Menz, 2006; Hill et al., 1999; O’loughlin et al., 1993) or less frequently (Davis et al., 1997; Luukinen et al., 1994; Rapp et al., 2014). Given the potential benefit of our frequent fall-tracking methods, along with the high adherence (97.5%) to returning fall reports, we believe the present results accurately represent the fall risk in our cohort of community-dwelling, ambulatory, older women.

2011, Journal of Surgical ResearchCitation Excerpt :One group of risk factors that has recently gained attention is that of race, ethnicity, and culture. Reports from the 1990s and before investigated the decreased incidence of hip fracture and falls in Japanese populations in both Japan and the U.S. [6]. More recent work has reported differences in fall characteristics and complications in African-Americans as well as several other ethnic groups [7–9].
Fall-related injuries among initially 75- and 80-year old people during a 10-year follow-up
2007, Archives of Gerontology and GeriatricsCitation Excerpt :A larger proportion of older women than men are frail (Deeg et al., 2002; Mitnitski et al., 2005) and thus may be at an increased risk for falls. The incidence rates reported in the current study are somewhat higher (Høidrup et al., 2003; Kelly et al., 2003) or comparable to previous studies (Davis et al., 1997). In our study, the follow-up period was 10 years, which is longer than in any previous study.
