Both falls and low bone density are important in the pathogenesis of osteoporotic fractures. Whilst bone density is routinely measured to assess fracture risk, little attention is given to the assessment of fall risk. In this study we have determined the prevalence and explored relationships between fall-related risk factors and osteoporosis in women referred to our open access bone densitometry service.
