A total of 561 individuals over 60years of age were included, 82% of whom were women. Only differences in densitometric data, FRAX values and history of previous fracture at baseline characteristics were found between the group that died at 15years and the group that remained alive. The only variables that were related to mortality risk were the basal data of the densitometric T-score (OR=.50, P
