Relatively few studies have examined risk factors for hip fracture among men. This study analyzes data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, a prospective study of approximately 50,000 men who were between the ages of 40 and 75 years in 1986. Body mass index, smoking status, and alcohol consumption were not associated with hip fracture in this population. However, age and height were related to hip fracture. Men who were 65 and older had a significantly higher risk of sustaining a hip fracture than younger adults. Men 6 feet or taller were more than twice as likely to sustain a hip fracture as those under 5 feet, 9 inches.
相对较少的研究探讨了男性髋部骨折的风险因素。本研究分析了来自健康专业人员随访研究的数据,这是一项对1986年年龄在40至75岁之间的约50000名男性进行的前瞻性研究。在该人群中,体重指数、吸烟状况和饮酒量与髋部骨折无关。然而,年龄和身高与髋部骨折有关。65岁及以上的男性发生髋部骨折的风险明显高于年轻人。身高6英尺或更高的男性发生髋部骨折的可能性是身高不足5英尺9英寸者的两倍多。
