Genetic liability to fractures in the elderly.

Archives of internal medicine - 12 Sept 2005

Michaëlsson Karl, Melhus Håkan, Ferm Helene, Ahlbom Anders, Pedersen Nancy L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The genetic impact on the causation of osteoporotic fractures is unclear. A large twin study is ideally suited to determine the genetic liability to categories of fracture at various ages. METHODS: A cohort of all 33 432 Swedish twins born from 1896 to 1944 was used to evaluate the genetic liability to fracture occurrence in the elderly. The Swedish Inpatient Registry and computer-assisted telephone...
