Funded Activity Summary

The overall aim is to improve treatments and outcomes for people with osteoporosis. This will be achieved by better predicting those who are likely to fracture and subsequently those who do well post fracture from those who do poorly. Following an osteoporotic fracture there is an increased risk of re- fracture and of premature death. This research will define those risk factors for fracture, re-fracture and early death in a large group of men and women followed for over 20 years.
