We prospectively examined whether the relationship between skeletal fragility and fracture risk in children 9.9 ± 0.3 (SD) yr is affected by trauma level. Bone size relative to body size and humeral vBMD showed similar inverse relationships with fracture risk, irrespective of whether fractures followed slight or moderate/severe trauma.
