The purpose of this study was to prospectively examine the relationship between anemia and incident fractures of the hip, spine and all skeletal sites in women from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Observational Study and Clinical Trials. Prospective cohort study. 40 WHI clinical centers across the US. Postmenopausal women (n = 160,080), mean age 63.2 (SD: 7.2) years, were recruited and followed for an average of 7.8 years. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin levels at baseline less than 12 g/dL. All fractures were self-reported. Hip fractures were further confirmed by trained physicians using medical records. Among the participants 8,739 women (5.5%) were anemic. The age-adjusted incidence rate of hip fractures per 10,000 person years were 21.4 in women with anemia and 15.0 in women without anemia; a higher incidence rate for spine or all fractures in anemic women was also observed. After multiple covariates were included in the Cox proportional hazards models, significant increased fracture risk associated with anemia still existed as demonstrated by the hazards ratios (95% confidence interval) of fractures associated with anemia being 1.38 (1.13–1.68), 1.30 (1.09–1.55) and 1.07 (1.01–1.14) for hip, spine and all-types respectively. No significant racial/ethnic difference was found in these relationships. A significantly increased fracture risk was observed in multi-ethnic postmenopausal women with anemia. Given the high prevalence of anemia in the elderly population, it is important to better understand the relationship and mechanisms linking anemia to fracture risk.
