The fall-related fracture sites differ significantly in anthropometric and bone parameters, in fear of falling and in cognitive abilities. There is not one typical bone, cognitive, and anthropometric profile characterising a particular fall-related site, but rather several possible profiles for a given site. This suggests that the fracture site depends on a combination of several characteristics of the patient.
