Changes over time in hip fracture risk: Greater improvements in men compared to women

Clinical Endocrinology Jul 01, 2018

Smith R, et al. - In the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie population of Australia between 1998 and 2015, the researchers ascertained whether there has been a change in the mean age and age-standardized incidence of minimal trauma hip fractures. Using the ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding system, patients with neck of femur fractures over 50 who presented to the regional referral centre were retrospectively identified. The data presented in this work showed a decrease in age-standardized rates of hip fractures for men and women. The study findings suggested that compared to women, men were showing a greater improvement in bone health.
