We examined the incidence of hip fracture in Non-Hispanic White, Hispanic, Black, and Asian Americans for the years 1983 and 1984 using a data base which contains a summary of all hospitalizations for the State of California. We found a consistently lower risk for hip fracture after age 60 in Hispanic, Black, and Asian American females than in White females who were not Hispanic. Overall age-adjusted hip fracture rates in Hispanic, Black, and Asian females were 49.7, 57.3, and 85.4, respectively, and 140.7/100,000 in White females who were not Hispanic. These differences were not found in males, although Whites (not Hispanic) had the highest incidence of hip fractures among males.
我们利用一个包含加利福尼亚州所有住院病例汇总信息的数据库,对1983年和1984年非西班牙裔白人、西班牙裔、黑人及亚裔美国人的髋部骨折发病率进行了研究。我们发现,60岁以后,西班牙裔、黑人及亚裔美国女性发生髋部骨折的风险始终低于非西班牙裔白人女性。西班牙裔、黑人及亚裔女性经年龄调整后的总体髋部骨折发病率分别为49.7、57.3和85.4,而非西班牙裔白人女性为140.7/10万。男性中未发现这些差异,不过在男性中,白人(非西班牙裔)的髋部骨折发病率最高。
