Abstract

The incidence of hip fracture worldwide varies significantly from region to region. Numerous factors such as age, sex, race, site of residence, medical comorbidities, osseous anatomy, nutrition, smoking, and climate can affect the risk of hip fracture. Although no consensus exists for the role of all of these variables in hip fracture incidence, analysis of theses factors may result in a better understanding of hip fracture etiology and development of preventive measures.
