Incidence of hip fracture in Kermanshah, IranEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion We found a relatively low incidence of hip fracture in Iran than in Western countries, which is mostly due to the lower rate in women. This is probably related to the different lifestyle factors in different societies.

Hip fracture incidence in Japan: estimates of new patients in 2007 and 20-year trendsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Despite the increasing number of new patients, the incidence of hip fracture in some age groups for both men and women showed the possibility of decline. The exact reasons for this are unknown, but drug therapy for osteoporosis and fall prevention programs might have influenced the results. Some nutrient intakes might explain the regional differences not only in Japan but also in some other countries.

Conclusion We found a relatively low incidence of hip fracture and fall-related hip fracture in Iran than those in western countries, which is mostly due to the lower rate in women.

Changing epidemiology of osteoporotic hip fracture rates in Hong KongEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study analyses the trend in hip fracture incidence in Southern Chinese in Hong Kong. The results show that the age-adjusted incidence has stabilized in recent years. Among subjects aged 50–59 years, a declining fracture rate is observed. Increasing awareness and a healthier ageing population could partly explain this improvement. Introduction Studies published in the early 1990s projected that half of the world’s hip fractures would occur in Asia, mostly in China, by 2050. Whether this prediction will become a reality is not clear. This study was conducted to determine the incidence (per ...

Conclusion The BMD value of healthy Kuwaiti women tend to be lower than the US reference at the lumber spine in all age groups but showed higher values for femur neck only in the age group of late 30s through 60 years. Weight has a stronger effect on BMD than does the height. The prevalence of osteoporosis in the lumber spine was more than double that in the femur neck in postmenopausal women.

Incidence of hip fractures in Salamanca, Spain. Period: 1994–2002Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The increase in hip fracture cases is greater than expected due to an aging population, suggesting the existence of other factors influencing this higher incidence.

Vitamin D status, postural sway, and the incidence of falls in elderly community-dwelling Japanese womenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The 1-year incidence of falls was associated with locus length of gravity-center sway. The present study failed to find associations between vitamin D status and gravity-center sway, grip strength, or the incidence of falls. This may be due to relatively high serum 25(OH)D level differences in this population. However, a significant association between vitamin D status and postural sway was found in the vitamin-D-insufficient subgroup, suggesting supplementation of vitamin D should be considered for those with vitamin D insufficiency.
