Expected frequency of biomechanically adverse values of proximal femur geometric variables for fracture risk in the East Slovak female population (epidemiological study)

Abstract

The study brings the first data determining the mean values and 95% C.I. for proximal femur geometric variable values in the East female Slovak population. Biomechanically adverse values of proximal femur geometric variables are values higher than the upper limit of 95% C. I. and these findings enable now physicians to identify the individuals at risk and at high risk of hip fracture by fall.
