Research from E.D. Parker et al has provided new information about hip fracture.(Report)
"As the mean age of the U.S. population increases, the public health burden of osteoporotic fractures is expected to increase. This study prospectively examined the independent association of hip circumference with hip fracture," investigators in the United States report (see also Hip Fracture).
"The prospective association of hip circumference and hip fracture was examined in a cohort of 30,652 postmenopausal women. Compared with the lowest quintile, successive quintiles of hip circumference were associated with a reduced hazard (i.e., hazard ratio [HR]) of hip fracture over 18 years of follow-up (HRs = 1.00, 0.78, 0.74, 0.76, 0.69, p for trend = 0.0015) after adjusting for age. Controlling for waist, this association per, sisted (HRs = 1.00, 0.78, 0.73, 0.72, 0.54, p for trend 0.0006). When additionally controlling for body mass index (BMI), we found that the association of hip fracture with hip circumference Was attenuated to the Mill whereas the association with successive quintiles of BMI remained significant and inverse (HRs 1.00, 0.55, 0.45, 0.40, 0.35, p for trend
