Popis: Vertebral fracture (VF) is a common osteoporotic fracture, while its epidemiology varies according to regions and ethnicities, little is known about it in Japan. Using whole-spine radiographs from a population-based cohort study, the Research on Osteoarthritis/Osteoporosis Against Disability study 3rd survey performed in 2012-2013, we estimated the sex- and age-specific prevalence of VF in the Japanese. Genant's semiquantitative method (SQ) was used to define VF; SQ ≥ 1 as VF, SQ = 1 as mild VF, SQ≥ 2 as severe VF. We also revealed accurate site-specific prevalence, and associated factors with mild and severe VF. The participants were 506 men [mean age 66.3 years, standard deviation (SD):13.0] and 1038 women (mean age 65.3 years, SD: 12.6). The prevalence of VF in participants aged under 40, in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and ≥ 80 years was 17.4, 7.9, 18.5, 25.6, 26.3, and 41.5%, respectively, in men, and 2.9%, 2.4%, 7,3, 10.3, 27.1, and 53.0%, respectively, in women. Men had a significantly higher prevalence of mild VF (21.2%) than women (10.0%, p
