ABSTRACT In 1980, 84 484 US women aged 34–59 y completed an independently
validated dietary questionnaire. During the ensuing 6 y, 593 forearm and 65 hip fractures
occurred in association with mild to moderate trauma. We observed a positive relation
between caffeine intake and risk of hip but not forearm fracture. After potential risk factors
were controlled for the relative risk (RR) of hip fracture for women in the top quintile of
caffeine consumption was 2.95 (95% CI= 1.18–7.38, P, trend= 0.003). Alcohol intake was …
