- Abstract
The article discusses research done on the prediction of hip fracture using computed tomographic measurements of thigh muscle cross-sectional area and attenuation coefficient. The procedure of the study included measurements using computed tomography, dual X-ray absorptiometry, and Short Physical Performance Battery. A discussion on the use by researchers of proportional hazards regression analysis is also presented.
