Data were obtained from the Health Care Financing Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs (formerly called Veterans Administration) on all hospital discharges among the elderly population from 1984 through 1987 and combined with census estimates to calculate incidence rates of hip fracture for the elderly population of the United States. Rates for White women were the highest, reaching 35.4 per 1,000 per year among 95 year-olds. Comparably, White men, Black women, and Black men experienced similar age-related increases in risk, although of less magnitude and relatively less rate of change, respectively.
数据取自医疗保健财务管理局和退伍军人事务部(前称退伍军人管理局),涵盖了1984年至1987年期间老年人口的所有医院出院情况,并与人口普查估计数相结合,以计算美国老年人口髋部骨折的发病率。白人女性的发病率最高,在95岁人群中每年达到每1000人中有35.4例。相比之下,白人男性、黑人女性和黑人男性的风险也随年龄增长而增加,尽管增加幅度较小,且变化率相对较低。
