Spine fracture prevalence is similar in men and women, increasing from <5% in those <60 to 11% in those 70–79 and 18% in those ≥80 years. Prevalence was higher with age, lower bone mineral density (BMD), and in those meeting criteria for spine imaging. Most subjects with spine fractures were unaware of them.
