Abstract
The incidence of hip fractures is known to vary significantly with age, impacting health systems and patient quality of life. Understanding these age‐related differences is crucial for developing effective preventative strategies and healthcare policies. This population‐based study analyzed the hip fracture rates across different age groups over a one‐year period. A sample of 200 individuals who suffered hip fractures was selected randomly from hospital records across multiple sites. Preliminary findings indicate a significant increase in fracture rates in older populations, particularly those above 65 years. Factors such as decreased bone density and higher fall risk were commonly associated with increased incidence in the elderly. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to reduce hip fracture risks, particularly among the elderly. Future policies should focus on bone health improvement and fall prevention strategies tailored to age‐specific needs.
