“…Indeed, a previous survey estimated a fourfold increase in hip fracture rates between 1990 and 2050 on this basis [7]. Over and above this effect of age, there appears to have been an increase in age-and sex-specific rates in many countries [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The secular trend has important implications for the frequency of hip fracture in the future, even in the developed world.…”

“…In the USA 238 000 hip fractures in persons over 50 years old were reported from 1984, costing US$ 7.2 billion; the projection for the year 2020 is 347 000 [18], assuming a continuous rise in both the number and the proportion of older persons. While there is agreement regarding the exponential increase in the incidence of hip fractures in whites in both sexes with age [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], differing reports have been published regarding secular trends [1,[4][5][6][7][8][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and incidence rates [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. The central hospital register in East Germany (former German Democratic Republic) up to 1989 was analyzed regarding proximal femoral fractures among 16.5 million East Germans from 1971 to 1989, the year before unification of the two Ger...…”

“…Выявлена тенденция к повышению час тоты переломов за последние 30 лет с таких странах как Великобритания [123,110], Дания [47], Швеция [105,85,116,48,41], Норвегия [31,33], Испания [63], США [96], Канада [74]. В не которых сообщениях отмечалось, что повыше ние частоты переломов происходит в основном у мужчин [78,84], в то время как в большин стве других оно зарегистрировано только сре ди женщин [14,73,21].…”

“…Для Восточной Европы данные были получены из национальных европейских исследований, про веденных в ГДР, Польше [49] и России [82]. Ре гион Южной Европы включал данные иссле дования MEDOS [30] и данные других южно европейских центров [ 63,29,109 ]. Для Север ной Америки данные взяты из США [78,96] и Канады [92,75].…”
