“…In men, no significant change occurred among those living in private homes or in nursing homes. Although several studies reported an increase in hip fracture incidence [28][29][30][31], the reduction in hip fracture incidence evidenced in the present paper is consistent with some recent reports showing that hip fracture incidence has reached a plateau [8][9][10][11][12] or has even declined in some countries [13][14][15][16].…”

“…During the past decade, hip fracture incidence has reached a plateau [8][9][10][11][12] or has even declined in some countries [13][14][15][16]. In the State of Geneva, where about 40% of hip fractures occur in nursing homes [17], we observed a significant decrease in the standardized incidence of hip fractures in women, but not in men, despite an increase in the mean age of women with hip fractures [18].…”

“…(12) To compare the overall rates of hip fractures in women and men in Beijing to the rates in other countries we also standardized the rates for other selected countries to the 2004 US Census where reports provided sufficient data. (9,10,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) Results (Fig. 2).…”

The age-specific rates of hip fractures have been declining in most countries in the West but a few studies suggest that the rates might be increasing in areas of Asia that are undergoing urbanization. We previously conducted a population-based study of hip fracture rates in Beijing, China, in 1990 to 1992 that included validation of hip fracture cases. Using a similar approach to validate cases, we estimated the age-specific hip fracture rates in Beijing, China, for 2002 to 2006. Specifically, we obtained hospital discharge data for hip fractures that were reported to the Beijing Bureau of Public Health. To confirm the diagnoses, Beijing residence, and find cases missed by the public records we checked individual cases in the public health records against medical records in a random sample of Beijing hospitals. The rates from public health data were adjusted for these under-and overestimations. We found that between 1990 and 1992 and 2002 and 2006, the adjusted age-specific rates of hip fracture over age 50 years increased 2.76-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.68-2.84) in women and 1.61-fold (95% CI, 1.56-1.66) in men. Over age 70 years, the age-specific rates increased 3.37-fold (95% CI, 3.28-3.47) in women and 2.01-fold (95% CI, 1.95-2.07) in men. From 2002 to 2006, the rates over age 50 years increased 58% in women and 49% in men. We conclude that the rate of hip fracture has been rising very rapidly in Beijing, China. Therefore, the burden of hip fractures may be shifting rapidly from the West to urbanizing areas of the East. ß

“…care cost for acute hip fractures amounted to 1% of the hospital budget in the 1990s. 13 Worldwide, 30% of all osteoporotic hip fractures occurred in men. 14 Mortality after hip fracture is greater in men than women (20.7% vs. 7.5%).…”

Purpose. To review records of 2702 patients with osteoporotic hip fractures in a Singaporean hospital. Methods. Medical records of 1905 women and 797 men, aged 50 to 112 (median, 78) years, who were admitted to a Singaporean hospital with an osteoporotic hip fracture (ICD9 820) between January 2000 and December 2010 were reviewed. Results. Female patients were significantly older than male patients (p<0.0005). The trend for the median patient age over the 10-year period has increased significantly in women (r=0.826, p=0.002) but not in men. Of the hip fractures, 49.4% were femoral neck fractures and 50.6% were intertrochanteric/ basicervical fractures. treated with hemiarthroplasty (68.8%), cancellous screw fixation (20.6%), and conservative methods (20.5%), whereas intertrochanteric/basicervical fractures were usually treated with dynamic hip screw fixation (76.3%) and conservative methods (15.6%). 84 women and 26 men sustained a subsequent osteoporotic hip fracture on the contralateral side after a median interval of 2 (range, 0-8) years. 11 of these 110 patients were already on osteoporosis medication. Conclusion. The rate of osteoporotic hip fractures has increased, particularly among women, over the 10-year period. The rate of intertrochanteric/basicervical fractures was higher in men than women.
