Hip fractures constitute a major cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly, and are associated with a considerable and increasing economic burden. It has been estimated that the worldwide annual number of hip fractures will increase to 6.26 million by year 2050. The purpose of the current article was to review the factors affecting the risk of hip fractures.
Original data for inclusion in this systematic review were identified through a MEDLINE search of the literature.
Several factors seem to affect the risk of hip fracture. The effect of each individual factor on hip fracture risk can be considered moderate; however, their summation can cause a substantial impact.
Recognising and a better understanding of the factors affecting the risk of hip fracture could aid to the planning of prophylactic strategies for reducing the problem and help the elderly remain independent and have a higher quality of life in their late years.
髋部骨折是老年人发病和死亡的主要原因，且伴随着相当大且不断增加的经济负担。据估计，到2050年，全球每年髋部骨折的数量将增至626万例。本文旨在综述影响髋部骨折风险的因素。
通过对MEDLINE文献数据库进行检索，确定纳入本系统评价的原始数据。
有几个因素似乎会影响髋部骨折风险。每个因素对髋部骨折风险的影响可视为中等；然而，这些因素的综合作用可能会产生重大影响。
认识并更好地理解影响髋部骨折风险的因素，有助于制定预防策略以减少这一问题，并帮助老年人在晚年保持独立，拥有更高的生活质量。
