Genetic factors and osteoporotic fractures in elderly people: prospective 25 year follow up of a nationwide cohort of elderly Finnish twins.

BMJ (Clinical research ed.) - 20 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether genetic factors partly explain variation in risk of osteoporotic fracture, the true end point of the osteoporosis problem. DESIGN: Prospective 25 year follow up of a nationwide cohort of elderly Finnish twins. SETTING: The Finnish twin cohort and the national hospital discharge register, covering the entire 5 million population of Finland. SUBJECTS: All same sex twin pairs born...
