Incident fragility fractures have a long-term negative impact on health-related quality of life of older people: The Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research Jun 20, 2019
Borhan S, et al. - Using 10-year prospective data from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos), researchers examined the influence of incident fragility fractures on health-related quality of life (HRQL) among people aged 50 years and older. The study population included 7,753 (2187 men and 5566 women) participants. Over 10 years of follow-up at spine, hip, rib, shoulder, pelvis, or forearm, the incident fragility fractures were recorded. Findings suggested an association of hip and spine fractures with a negative impact on mobility, self-care, and ambulation. Outcomes revealed that women who experienced a hip fracture never recovered to their prefracture level score. According to results, single and multiple hip fractures, as well as multiple spine and rib fractures have a significant impact on older people's HRQL over an extended period of time.
