"Fracture rates were higher among HIV+ than HIV- women. Cocaine and injection drug use were also significant predictors of incident fracture" " of note age matters, every 10-year increase in age increased risk for fracture in HIV+ women by 25%, see Table 5"
 
"....of note, see Table 2, wrist fractures occurred more often in HIV+ women" "Adjusted for age, race, prior fracture, and history of cocaine and injection drug use, HIV+ women had significantly higher incidence rate of any fracture compared with HIV- women - 30% higher risk -(aHR1.30; 95% CI 1.02-1.66). Among HIV+ women, older age, white race, prior fracture, smoking, and prior AIDS defining illness(aHR=1.56; 95% CI: 1.22-1.98) significantly predicted new fracture, while CD4+ count and antiretroviral exposure did not."
