However, information on the association of height with fractures at other sites is limited and conflicting. A total of 796,081 postmenopausal women, who reported on health and lifestyle factors including a history of previous fractures and osteoporosis, were followed for 8 years for incident fracture at various sites by record linkage to National Health Service hospital admission data. Adjusted relative risks of fracture at different sites per 10-cm increase in height were estimated using Cox regression. Numbers with site-specific fractures were: humerus (3036 cases), radius and\/or ulna (1775), wrist (9684), neck of femur (5734), femur (not neck) (713), patella (649), tibia and\/or fibula (1811), ankle (5523), and clavicle\/spine\/rib (2174). The risk of fracture of the neck of femur increased with increasing height (relative risk [RR]\u2009=\u20091.48 per 10-cm increase, 99% confidence interval [CI] 1.39\u20131.57) and the proportional increase in risk was significantly greater than for all other fracture sites (pheterogeneity\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). For the other sites, fracture risk also increased with height (RR\u2009=\u20091.15 per 10\u2009cm, CI 1.12\u20131.18), but there was only very weak evidence of a possible difference in risk between the sites (pheterogeneity\u2009=\u20090.03). In conclusion, taller women are at increased risk of fracture, especially of the neck of femur. \u00a9 2015 The Authors.
