Proximal Femur Volumetric Bone Mineral Density and Mortality: 13 Years of Follow‐Up of the AGES‐Reykjavik Study

Bone mineral density (BMD) has been linked to mortality, but little is known about the independent contribution of each endosteal bone compartment and also the rate of bone loss to risk of mortality. We examined the relationships between (1) baseline trabecular and cortical volumetric BMD (vBMD) at the proximal femur, and (2) the rate of trabecular and cortical bone loss and all‐cause mortality in older adults from the AGES‐Reykjavik study. The...
