    Femoral bone mineral density at the 4 sites assessed (total proximal femur, femoral neck, trochanter, intertrochanteric region) in the 38 hip fracture fallers with PD. The bars indicate the mean BMD value (T score), and the lines indicate the SD. White bars, patients with cervical fracture (n=23); gray bars, patients with trochanteric fracture (n=15).
