Larsson BAM, Johansson L, Mellström D, et al. - Findings demonstrate that fracture probability is substantially impacted by a low one leg standing time (OLST) in older women and thus considering this test when assessing fracture risk in them is recommended.

• This prospective population-based study included 3,028 women 75–80 years old.

• In 2,405 women, OLST was available.

• An increased risk for incident hip fracture (hazard ratio (HR) 3.02), major osteoporotic fracture (1.76), and nonvertebral fracture (1.61) was observed in relation to OLST less than 10 s, post-adjustment for age, height, and weight.

• Based on bone mineral density, the 4-year fracture likelihood rose by a factor of 1.3 to 1.5 in a 75-year-old woman with a low OLST (<10 s).
