The results from the National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment (NORA), the
largest study of osteoporosis conducted to date in the United States, have
been eagerly awaited by osteoporosis researchers and clinicians. NORA, which
commenced in 1997, is a longitudinal observational study involving more than
200 000 postmenopausal women. The study was initially designed to assess
the association between osteoporosis risk factors and low bone mineral density
(BMD) and to examine the relationship between BMD and other risk factors and
short-term (1-year) fracture incidence.1
