Incidence of hip fracture and prevalence of osteoporosis in Turkey: the FRACTURK study

Abstract: Although Turkey is still among the countries with low hip fracture rates in Europe, the incidence has increased markedly in the last 20 years. This finding can be used to recalibrate fracture risk assessment models for Turkey.

“…The majority of hip fractures in women occurred after the age of 75 years. Assuming no change in the age-and sex-specific incidence, the number of hip fractures is expected to increase to nearly 64,000 in 2035 (5).…”

“…For example, although Turks have one of the lowest fracture rates in Europe, the BMD values in this country were low compared with Swedes. [4,5] This leads to the conclusion that for a given BMD level, the risk of fracture varies with age and the presence of other risk factors. [6] In addition, the combination of clinical risk factors and BMD provide higher specifity and sensitivity than either of these provides individually.…”

“…Türkiye hala Avrupa'da düşük kalça fraktürü oranına sahip bir ülke olmakla birlikte, son 20 yılda insidansı belirgin olarak artmıştır. FRACTURK çalışmasında 2009'da tahmini kırık sayısı 24,000 iken, 2035'de Türkiye'de beklenen kalça kırık sayısı 64,000 olarak bildirilmiştir (3,4). OP tanısında ayrıntılı anamnez, fizik muayene, kemik yoğunluğu ölçümleri, vertebral görüntüleme ve kırık riskinin belirlenmesini içeren geniş kapsamlı bir yaklaşım gereklidir (1).…”
