TL;DR
To study the changes in admission rates for hip fracture in New South Wales in the last decade; and to compare the age‐adjusted rates with those from Europe, America and Asia.
Abstract
The incidence of hip fracture in NSW in the last decade was very high by world standards. The prevention of hip fracture is essential as the Australian population ages.

The age- and sex-specific incidence of hip fractures is central Norway is reported for the periods of 1972-1973 and 1983-1984 and the increase in incidence was the same in the rural and urban populations.

Hip fractures were twice as prevalent in females as in males and the incidence was found to double for each 5-year increment in age, and the percentage of femoral neck fractures decreased with age in females but was constant in males.

Hip fractures were more common among non-Hispanic white women than among Mexican-American or black women, and Mexican Americans and blacks are relatively protected from hip fractures, and they may benefit less than whites from prophylactic therapies for osteoporosis.

Reductions in acute care hospital bed use for patients with femoral neck fractures could be made by reducing the number of technical failures in surgical treatment, providing more intensive nursing care to reduce postoperative and bed‐rest complications, and by providing integrated slow‐stream beds for the physical and social rehabilitation of patients.

From 1974 until 1982, the cases of 1287 patients with trochanteric fractures of the femur were examined; there was no correlation between the degree of osteopenia and sex, although there was a correlation between oste Openia and fracture type.
