This study estimated hip fracture incidence for elderly Hispanics in the United States.
A cohort of Spanish-surnamed 1992 Medicare enrollees was followed for 2 years. Hip fractures were identified by inpatient diagnostic code.
For Hispanic women, the national age-adjusted hip fracture rate was 7.3 per 1000 person-years; for men, the rate was 3.3. Rates varied markedly, with higher rates for the predominantly Mexican-American southwestern states than for Puerto Ricans.
Nationally, the Hispanic population is at intermediate risk of hip fracture between Blacks and Whites, but geographic variation suggests that Mexican Americans are at higher risk than Puerto Ricans.
本研究估算了美国老年西班牙裔人群的髋部骨折发病率。
对1992年参加医疗保险的西班牙裔姓氏队列人群进行了为期2年的随访。通过住院诊断代码确定髋部骨折。
西班牙裔女性的全国年龄调整后髋部骨折发病率为每1000人年7.3例;男性为3.3例。发病率差异显著,以墨西哥裔美国人为主的西南部各州发病率高于波多黎各人。
在全国范围内,西班牙裔人群髋部骨折风险介于黑人和白人之间,但地域差异表明墨西哥裔美国人的风险高于波多黎各人。
