Hemoglobin and hip fracture risk in older non-Hispanic white adults

Abstract: Purpose The few studies to date that have examined the relationship between hemoglobin and fracture risk have focused on low hemoglobin values. The present study examined hip fracture risk across the hemoglobin distribution in older non-Hispanic white adults from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988–1994). Methods Hemoglobin was measured using a Coulter S-plus Jr.® (Coulter Electronics, Hialeah, FL) in 2122 non-Hispanic whites age 65 years and older. Hip fracture cases… Show more

“… 30 Another also suggested low and high hemoglobin values were associated with increased hip fracture risk. 31 The conclusions of the above studies are generally consistent with the results of this study. Conversely, a longitudinal study in older adults did not support the hypothesis that hemoglobin levels are associated with BMD, 21 possibly due to differences in race, age, inclusion and exclusion criteria.…”

“…Besides, from clinical and nutritional standpoints, good nutritional status often means a good exercise of skeletal muscles, which prevents fracture in these patients. Unexpectedly, we found that higher hemoglobin levels in the FF group may be explained in this way: hyperhemoglobinemia often means increased blood viscosity, which results in endotheliocyte damage and micro-inflammatory state, thus affecting bone metabolism [33]. In fact, it was reported that hypohemoglobinemia and hyperhemoglobinemia are both associated with increased risk of fracture.…”

“…Most reported that anemia was related to increased risk of fractures, but that risk differed by sex and fracture site, such as vertebral or nonvertebral fractures. In addition, each study included different ethnic groups . A study of adults aged 55 to 74 years in Norway showed that men with anemia were at 2.15‐fold higher risk of nonvertebral fractures than men with high hemoglobin levels (15.2 to 18.8, g/dL) but that women with anemia did not have increased nonvertebral fracture risk .…”
