The incidence of fracture of the upper end of the humerus by age group and sex was studied for a 32-year period from 1950 to 1982. The following numbers of humeral fractures occurred: 1950-1954, 411 fractures; 1961-1964, 552 fractures; 1971-1973, 639 fractures; and 1981-1982, 523 fractures. There was a progressive increase in the age-related incidence in older persons, especially in women. There was a higher incidence of fractures classified as severe in the 1980s compared with the 1950s.
对1950年至1982年这32年期间不同年龄组和性别的肱骨上端骨折发病率进行了研究。发生的肱骨骨折数量如下：1950 - 1954年，411例骨折；1961 - 1964年，552例骨折；1971 - 1973年，639例骨折；1981 - 1982年，523例骨折。老年人与年龄相关的发病率呈逐渐上升趋势，尤其是女性。与20世纪50年代相比，20世纪80年代分类为严重骨折的发病率更高。
