Funded Activity Summary

In this population-based study we will generate evidence, both environmental and genetic, for defining fracture risk in Australian men and women. This will help identify individuals likely to sustain fragility fractures so that suitable therapies can be recommended. The data will be useful for developing prognostic models in both a clinical setting and for genetic screening programmes.
