U.S. Hip Fracture Incidence Declines with Reductions in Smoking & Drinking

Lisa Rapaport  |  August 4, 2020

(Reuters Health)—Age-adjusted hip fracture incidence has declined in the U.S. over the past four decades, aided by a decline in smoking and alcohol consumption, a new study suggests. Researchers examined data on 4,918 men and 5,634 women who participated in the prospective Framingham Heart Study from 1970 to 2010. Overall, the age-adjusted incidence of hip…

After Hip Fracture, Earlier Osteoporosis Drug Initiation Tied to Lower Subsequent Fracture Risk

Lisa Rapaport  |  June 15, 2020

(Reuters Health)—Patients hospitalized for a hip fracture are less likely to experience a subsequent fracture-related hospitalization if they start anti-osteoporosis medication sooner, a Taiwanese study suggests.1 Researchers examined data on 77,930 patients aged 50 years and older hospitalized for hip fractures, including 9,986 people prescribed anti-osteoporosis medications within one year of the index fracture. Compared…

Serum Bone Markers CTX, PINP Not Linked with Hip Fracture Risk in Osteoporosis

Anne Harding  |  July 7, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Levels of two bone markers currently recommended for evaluating postmenopausal women with osteoporosis have no association with hip fracture risk, according to a new study using Women’s Health Initiative data. “At least in these postmenopausal women, it was not a useful endeavor to check bone turnover markers to predict hip-fracture risk. That…

Existing CT Scans as Good as DXA for Assessing Hip Fracture Risk

Scott Baltic  |  May 8, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—A “biomechanical” analysis of a previously taken pelvic or abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan is at least as accurate in assessing an individual’s hip fracture risk as a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, according to new research. This accuracy of the hip bone mineral density (BMD) T-score as measured by the biomechanical…

Healthy Diet Linked to Lower Hip Fracture Risk in U.S. Women

Mary Gillis  |  March 4, 2018

(Reuters Health)—Eating an overall healthy diet is tied to a lower risk of hip fracture among women over age 50, a U.S. study suggests. Researchers analyzed decades’ worth of dietary and health data for more than 100,000 U.S. men and women. They found that women who scored highest on the American Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI)…

Hip Fractures Increasing in Older U.S. Women

Cheryl Platzman Weinstock  |  January 16, 2018

(Reuters Health)—The incidence of hip fractures in older women in the U.S. is rising after more than a decade of decline, according to a large new study of Medicare recipients. Hip fracture rates declined each year from 2002–2012, the researchers found. But starting in 2013, hip fracture rates leveled off and were higher than expected….

Rheumatology Drug Updates: Hip Fracture Rates After Bisphosphonate Drug Holidays, Plus More on Golimumab, Ustekinumab

Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP  |  December 19, 2017

Bisphosphonate Drug Holidays Drug holidays are common for patients on bisphosphonate therapy. Often, these breaks in treatment are related to known U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warnings and drug class adverse effects. Currently, data on fracture risk related to drug holidays are limited. In recent research highlighted at the 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting ,…
