![]() Results One-third (32.7%) of participants had slow TUG test performance (>10.2 seconds), and 54.2% of participants had low hip areal BMD (T-score of less than −1). Complete incident hip fracture data were obtained from a hospital morbidity database. ![]() Incident clinical osteoporotic fracture over 10 years was confirmed by radiographic records. Assessments included TUG test at baseline and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry total hip areal BMD measurement at year 1. Methods The study participants were 1126 women (mean age at baseline, 75.0 years) living in Perth, Western Australia. This study examined the role of Timed Up and Go (TUG) test performance, a validated predictor of falling, and hip areal bone mineral density (BMD), a validated predictor of bone strength in fracture prediction in a 10-year longitudinal study.
