Incidence and socioeconomic burden of hip fractures in Italy: extension study 2003-2005

Abstract: ziato un "trend" estremamente rapido: gli ultrasessantacinquenni erano il 15% nel 1992 ed il 13% nel 1982 (1). Ciò significa che in Italia una donna su cinque ed un uomo su sette hanno oggi più di 65 anni di età. Inoltre, gli ultra-ottantenni sono più di 400.000 (il 4% della popolazione) ma supereranno il milione di individui nei prossimi quarant'anni giungendo a costituire l'11% della popolazione nel 2045 (1). Il 70% delle morti registrate nel nostro Paese si collocano nella fascia di età compresa tra i 70 ed… Show more

“…The incidence per 100 inhabitants reached 2.35 and 4.67 in men and women aged older than 75 years, respectively (with women aged older than 75 years the age group in which the highest number of fragility fractures was detected); and if the current trends continue, this number is expected to triple in the next 50 years (5). The medical and social cost of hip fractures in Italy is about 1 billion euros, most of which for surgery and rehabilitation (6). A comparative analysis based on national hospitalization records shows that the burden of hip fractures in Italy is comparable to that of AMI and strokes (7).…”
