Jun 3 2024The Endocrine Society Older women with low bone density are more likely to experience their first hip fracture in their 60s compared to older ages, according to research being presented Sunday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Boston, Mass.
Avica Atri, M.D., Internal Medicine resident physician at Jefferson Einstein Hospital in Philadelphia, Pa. They used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to identify women in the U.S. aged 60 or older with low bone mineral density at the femur neck, based on DEXA scans from 2009-2018.
They also found that the number of women aged older than 70 years who experienced their first fragility hip fracture decreased during the study, compared with women aged 60-69 years. The women aged 60-70 years self-reported a first hip fracture 50% more. The researchers believe this might be due to prevention efforts already in place for the population aged above 70 years.
