This longitudinal study included 288 postmenopausal women without estrogen use (median age, 72 yr) and 352 men (median age, 66 yr). All were community-dwelling, ambulatory, and Caucasian. Blood for hormone assays (total and bioavailable estradiol and testosterone, estrone, androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) was obtained in 1984-1987, and vertebral fractures were diagnosed from lateral spine radiographs obtained in 1992-1996. At least one vertebral fracture was found in 21% of women and 8% of men. Among men, age-adjusted hormone levels differed by fracture status only for total (64.1 us. 75.4 pmol/L, P = 0.012) and bioavailable (43.0 us. 51.4 pmol/L, P = 0.008) estradiol. There was a graded association between higher concentrations of total and bioavailable estradiol and lower fracture prevalence (trend P < 0.01 for both hormones). Men with total testosterone levels compatible with hypogonadism (
