The association between one-year fall history and quality of life among older adults in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study: does fall frequency matter? Open
Purpose Older adults are at increased risk of falls, which can substantially impact their quality of life (QoL). While few global studies have explored this association, comprehensive research in Australia remains limited. This study aimed…

Family history of fracture and fracture risk: a meta-analysis to update the FRAX® risk assessment tool Open
A family history of fracture is confirmed as a significant BMD-independent predictor of future fracture risk. While parental hip fracture appears the strongest factor for future hip fracture, a family history of other fractures might be ap…

Body mass index and subsequent fracture risk: a meta-analysis to update FRAX Open
The aim of this international meta-analysis was to quantify the predictive value of BMI for incident fracture and relationship of this risk with age, sex, follow-up time, and BMD. A total of 1 667 922 men and women from 32 countries (63 co…

Pain in women with and without bipolar spectrum disorder Open
Introduction Bipolar disorder is associated with several physical conditions and possibly increased pain, although research outside hospital settings is limited. We compared perceived pain among population-based women with and without bipo…

Associations between sarcopenia and domains of quality of life in older adults: a population-based cross-sectional study Open
Background Sarcopenia is an age-related skeletal muscle disorder associated with deleterious health outcomes. Few studies have examined associations between sarcopenia and quality of life (QoL). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to …

Trends and determinants of falls: A generalized estimating equations modelling approach using serial data from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study Open
Men experienced a steady decrease in fall prevalence over time, whereas women displayed a more intricate trend, with falls initially declining before subsequently rising, following a polynomial pattern. The key predictors of falls included…

Parental fracture history is associated with offspring early-life fracture risk: The Geelong Osteoporosis Study Open
Parental fracture history appears to have sex-specific associations with offspring early life fracture risk. Whereby maternal fracture history is associated with an increased risk of early life fracture in females, while paternal fracture …

Mental disorders and excess mortality: a systematic review protocol Open
Background There is developing evidence of excess mortality among people with mental disorders. This protocol presents the methodology to undertake a systematic review to definitively examine the current evidence on the risk of all-cause a…
View article: Associations between bone material strength index and FRAX scores
Associations between bone material strength index and FRAX scores Open
Introduction Impact microindentation (IMI) measures bone material strength index (BMSi) in vivo. However, its ability to predict fractures is still uncertain. This study aimed to determine the association between BMSi and 10 year fracture …

Risk Factors for the Progression or Regression to Diabetes or Normoglycaemia for Men with Impaired Fasting Glucose Open
Aims Reporting of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) prevalence and risk factors for progression to diabetes differs between studies, in part, due to the use of multiple definitions of the condition. We aimed to determine the prevalence of dia…
