Older Men With Anemia Have Increased Fracture Risk Independent of Bone Mineral Density

Context: Extremely low hemoglobin (Hgb) values have been linked to increased fracture risk at different sites. However, careful assessment of clinically defined anemia and fracture risk is lacking. Objective: To determine whether men with anemia were at increased risk of fracture after accounting for bone mineral density (BMD) and bone loss. Design: Cross-sectional analysis (at visit 3) and prospective analysis (from baseline to visit 3) in the...
