## Abstract We examined if height loss in older women predicts risk of hip fractures, other nonspine fractures, and mortality, and whether this risk is independent of both vertebral fractures (VFx) and bone mineral density (BMD) by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry. Among 3124 women age 65 and older
