selleck chemicals A multiple logistic regression was used to
estimate associations www.selleckchem.com/products/ly2874455.html between “much or a little higher” perception of fracture risk and the seven individual FRAX risk factors; estimates for number of FRAX factors and osteoporosis diagnosis are from separate logistic regressions models. We did not adjust for age, as the outcome is perceived risk compared to women of the same age. Results Patient characteristics A total of 60,393 patients from practices of 723 physicians were enrolled in the study between October 2006 and February 2008. Approximately 25,000 women came from eight sites and 274 physician practices in Europe; 28,000 subjects were from 255 practices in the United States (US), and almost 7000 patients came from 86 practices in Canada and Australia. Among these women, 35% (20,345/58,434) rated their risk of fracturing or breaking a bone to be “much lower” or “a little lower” than that of women of the same age, 46% (27,138/58,434) said their risk was “about the same,” and 19% (10,951/58,434) rated their risk as “a little higher” or “much higher” than women of the same age (Table 1).
