Fractures, Multiple

Among women aged 40 to 64 years, a recent major osteoporotic fracture was associated with increased risk for a repeat fracture at 10 years, with highest risk within the first 2 years of the fracture, according to study data.

Postmenopausal women have an increased risk for a subsequent fracture after both traumatic and nontraumatic initial fractures, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
