Economic evaluation of three preventive drug therapies for osteoporotic fractures among women at different risk levels
… (CE) of three drug therapies for preventing osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women from a state Medicaid Program perspective using the estimated risk distribution in the study population. The three therapies are: hormone replacement therapy (HRT), alendronate, and raloxifene. Methods. …

Risk assessment for osteoporotic fractures among men and women from a prospective population study: the EPIC-Norfolk study
Osteoporotic fractures are a major and increasing clinical and public health concern internationally. Identification of individuals at high risk for fragility fractures may enable us to target preventive interventions more effectively. In this thesis, I aimed to evaluate novel risk factors for …

Economics of Osteoporotic Fracture Prevention and Care
My thesis addresses the economics of osteoporotic fractures, a concern brought to light by aging populations and cost pressures on health systems. Central to my PhD is the utilization of health economic research to identify interventions that offer the best value for money, particularly in the …

Genetics Analysis of Bone Size Variation of Hip, Spine and Wrist in Human Pedigrees
Bone size is an important determinant of osteoporotic fracture. However, the importance of genetic factors in determining bone size variation is unknown. My purposes here are three-folded. 1) Estimate the heritability (h2) of bone size by adjusting for several significant factors such as age, sex …
