The most frequent fracture site was lumbar spine 1 (L1) with 31.5% (22.9%\/40.7% in men\/women), followed by thoracic spine 12 (T12) with 31.0% (20.7%\/41.8% in men\/women). In terms of severity, 3.8% (4.8%\/2.8% in men\/women), 23.8% (27.1%\/20.3% in men\/women), and 41.9% (26.6%\/58.2% in men\/women) were Grades 1, 2, and 3. The VFs from T3 to L5 and of Grade 3 severity were significantly higher in women. VF and Grade 3 fractures were associated with a history of surgical intervention for femoral neck fractures. VFs were not associated with the following underlying causes of death: cancer, heart disease, senile death, cerebrovascular disease, pneumonia, and aspiration pneumonia.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The VF prevalence at death, assessed by AiCT in cadavers donated for anatomical dissection, was higher in both men and women compared with previous studies conducted on individuals aged\u2009\u2265\u200980\u00a0years in Japan.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00774-025-01577-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]],"date-time":"2025-01-13T21:14:32Z","timestamp":1736802872000},"page":"249-255","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prevalence of vertebral fractures at death"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Noriko","family":"Ogawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masahiro","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rie","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsuko","family":"Kawamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akihiro","family":"Matsumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Otani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keizo","family":"Kanasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"1577_CR1","unstructured":"Ministry of Health La, Welfare (2020) Life Table (2019)."},{"key":"1577_CR2","unstructured":"Ministry of Health La, Welfare (2021) Healthy Life Expectancy (2019)."},{"key":"1577_CR3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"608","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-005-0023-8","volume":"17","author":"JS Bauer","year":"2006","unstructured":"Bauer JS, M\u00fcller D, Ambekar A, Dobritz M, Matsuura M, Eckstein F, Rummeny EJ, Link TM (2006) Detection of osteoporotic vertebral fractures using multidetector CT.
