Abstract: This is the first hip fracture incidence study from India. Hip fracture incidence rates in Rohtak district of India are intermediate between those in the industrialised world and Africa and similar to some of Asian countries such as China, Iran and South Korea.

“…Wehren and Magaziner (7) reviewed the trends of hip fracture in 2003 and concluded that hip fracture will remain a leading public health problem. Although the incidence of hip fracture has decreased in some western countries over the last decade (8,9), the rates are increasing in many Asian countries (4,10). This has contributed to a large increase in the absolute number of hip fracture patients globally (11).…”

“…Um estudo realizado na Inglaterra mostrou que as taxas médias anuais de fraturas de fêmur em homens foram de 0,55/mil e de 1,56/ mil em mulheres 29 33 . Essa evidente suscetibilidade do gênero feminino chama a atenção para o problema da osteoporose, que é uma doença sistêmico-progressiva caracterizada pela diminuição da massa óssea e deterioração da microarquitetura, levando à fragilidade do osso e aumentando o risco de fraturas 34 .…”

“…There is at least a twofold increased risk of mortality within one year in patients who sustain hip fracture [2]. A recent Indian study showed a crude incidence of hip fracture to be 129 per 100000 in people above 50 y of age [3]. Considering the population of about 100 million post menopausal women in India [4], osteoporosis and hip fracture will have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality.…”
