“…Several authors showed that the C/T ratio decreased with age in women (Jensen 1980, Falch et al 1985, Caniggia and Morreale 1989 and remained more constant in men. This is in agreement with results showing that women with a trochanteric fracture were older than those with a cervical fracture, while the reverse or no difference was found in men (Stewart 1955, Alffram 1964, Pogrund et al 1977, Nilsson and Obrant 1978, Bungay et al 1980, Zetterberg and Anderson 1982, Bohr and Schaadt 1983, Lawton et al 1983, Zetterberg et al 1984, Sattin el al. 1990).…”

“…This is contrary to studies reporting that older males show no increase in the incidence of these injuries with advancing age Bauer, 1960;Buhr and Cooke, 1959). However, more recent surveys do document a secular trend where men and women display substantial increases in the incidence of both distal radius and hip fractures in individuals over 60 years of age (Solgaard and Petersen, 1985;Bengner and Johnell, 1985;Zain-Elabdien et al, 1984;Wallace, 1983;Swanson and Murdoch, 1983;Frandsen and Kruse, 1983;Zetterberg and Andersson, 1982;Wyshak, 1981;Nilsson and Obrant, 1978;Knowelden et al, 1964). Thus, we do not regard the increased frequency of distal radius fractures in older HT black and white men as unusual.…”

The study presents a retrospective analysis of distal radius, proximal femur, vertebral, and sacral fractures that occurred in 938 Hamann-Todd Collection skeletons. Individuals included in the investigation were retrieved from dissecting room cadavers in Cleveland, Ohio, between the years 1910 and 1940. Demographic analysis showed that the mean ages at death for blacks and whites included in the study were 41.9 and 53.8 years, respectively. Evaluations of fracture repair status were made for all fractures that were identified. Observations that document side of involvement and unilateral/bilateral distribution were made for distal radius and hip fractures. It was found that the age-, sex-, and race-related fracture patterns which characterize the early 20th century Hamann-Todd sample strongly correspond in distribution and magnitude to those seen in modern American and European urban industrial communities. The distal radius, hip, vertebral, and sacral fractures which were identified in individuals over 60 years of age appear to be a primary result of skeletal fragility due to age progressive bone loss. However, it is suggested that the early onset and high frequency of distal radius fractures seen in climacteric Caucasian women may be more directly due to accidental falls initiated by a greater frequency, intensity, and duration of vasomotor disturbances which are known to accompanay estrogen withdrawal in perimenopausal white females.

“…Zetterberg (6) in Sweden reported that a moderate increase in fracture incidence was found in the winter months. In Wakayama, the 54 female cases in October and 26 male cases in December were slightly larger than in other months, but seasonal variations were not obvious.…”

Incidence of femoral neck fracture in 1988 in Wakayama prefecture

et al. 1991

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Femoral neck fracture at Wakayama Prefecture was surveyed in 1988.Questionnaires were sent to all clinics and hospitals totaling 109 equipped for orthopaedic and general surgeries through Wakayama Prefecture. Wakayama Prefecture is located in the southernmost peninsula of main island in Japan, and has a mild climate throughout the year. Number of femoral neck fractures were reported 159 in males and 509 in females. The inicidence of femoral neck fracture per 1,000 population was 0.61. The incidence increased concomitant with aging. The incidence of intra-and extracapsular fractures was equal in females. In both sexes, the incidence of intracapsular fracture was the highest in the age group 70-79, and that of extracapsular fractures was highest in the eighties. The incidence among males was one half to one third in comparison with that of females. Seasonal and regional differences were not observed in Wakayama Prefecture.
