Height has been associated with increased risk of @entity174 of the neck of femur. However, information on the association of height with @entity174 at other sites is limited and conflicting. A total of 796,081 postmenopausal @entity1 , who reported on health and lifestyle factors including a history of previous @entity174 and @entity170 , were followed for 8 years for incident @entity174 at various sites by record linkage to National Health Service hospital admission data. Adjusted relative risks of @entity174 at different sites per 10-cm increase in height were estimated using Cox regression. Numbers with site-specific @entity174 were: humerus (3036 cases), radius and/or ulna (1775), wrist (9684), neck of femur (5734), femur (not neck) (713), patella (649), tibia and/or fibula (1811), ankle (5523), and clavicle/spine/ @entity30975 (2174). The risk of @entity174 of the neck of femur increased with increasing height (relative risk [RR]   =   1.48 per 10-cm increase, 99% confidence interval [CI] 1.39-1.57) and the proportional increase in risk was significantly greater than for all other @entity174 sites (pheterogeneity    <   0.001). For the other sites, @entity174 risk also increased with height (RR   =   1.15 per 10   cm, CI 1.12-1.18), but there was only very weak evidence of a possible difference in risk between the sites (pheterogeneity    =   0.03). In conclusion, taller @entity1 are at increased risk of @entity174 , especially of the neck of femur.    2015 The Authors.
