Breaking a bone in childhood is not just a rite of passage.
Children who fracture repeatedly may also have especially fragile skeletons, they may be"accident-prone", or their bone fractures may occur during sport or physical activity.
The people we studied are all part of the unique Dunedin Study, which tracked the development of a thousand babies born in Behavioral Dunedin between April 1972 and March 1973. They've also repeatedly undergone face-to-face interviews asking about injuries, including fractures since they were children. This means we can compare their medical fracture history in middle age with their own recollections from childhood.
Among females, childhood fractures were associated with lower bone mineral density at the hip later in life, but this was not the case among males.have sought to determine whether children who sustain a single fracture during childhood have skeletal fragility that persists into adulthood. Our study is the first to demonstrate an increased risk of adult fracture in both males and females who repeatedly fracture in childhood.
