^aOnly the health consequences that are explicitly incorporated by models are catalogued: i.e., studies included separate model states and probabilities for each consequence
^bSee Table 2 for study references; parenthesised number refers to the number of models included in the table
^cThe model incorporated multiple specified fracture types (e.g., hip, vertebral, wrist) or a general category of fracture without specifying the component fracture types
^dThis model used a composite measure of health consequences including recurrent falls, fear of falling and mobility and balance problems. Thus, the fall types and fear of falling are marked as ‘Composite’ (Com). The model also included a multivariate frailty index capturing physical, psychological and social aspects of vulnerability
