Social deprivation is associated with many diseases. To our knowledge, there has been no previous investigation of its role in the epidemiology and incidence of fractures in adults.
We analyzed 6872 consecutive fractures in patients fifteen years of age or older over a one-year period. Social deprivation was analyzed using the Carstairs score, which is derived from patients' postal codes and accurately defines social deprivation in our population.
Social deprivation is associated with an increasing fracture incidence. The effect is not linear, and the most deprived 10% of society are affected. The odds ratios of the most deprived 10% of society having an increased incidence of fractures are 3.7 in males and 3.1 in females.
Social deprivation is associated with a significant increase in the incidence of fractures in the most deprived 10% of the population. Most fracture types are affected.
社会贫困与许多疾病有关。据我们所知，以前从未研究过它在成年人中流行病学和骨折发病率中的作用。
我们分析了在一年期间，15 岁或以上的连续 6872 例骨折患者。使用 Carstairs 评分分析社会贫困状况，该评分源自患者的邮政编码，可准确确定我们人群中的社会贫困状况。
社会贫困与骨折发病率的增加有关。这种影响不是线性的，最贫困的 10%人群受到影响。最贫困的 10%人群骨折发病率增加的优势比为男性 3.7，女性 3.1。
社会贫困与最贫困的 10%人群的骨折发病率显著增加有关。大多数骨折类型都受到影响。
