   Abstract : In Sweden approximately 25000 distal radius fractures occur annually, which is 37 % of all fractures related to osteoporosis. In this thesis, risk factors for osteoporosis, bone mineral density (BMD) and health-related quality of life (the SF-36) were compared in patients who suffered a distal radius fracture after low energy trauma with a control group matched on the basis of age, gender, and municipality of residence.

   Abstract : Attaining high peak bone mass (PBM), the highest bone mass value in life which is reached in young adulthood, is important as it reduces the risk of having low bone mass in old age69, 80. Low bone mass is associated with high fracture risk3, 60. Osteoporosis is the result of bone loss, a physiological process related to aging and/or low PBM. READ MORE
