Abstract

In a follow-up study during 1976–1984, the risk of a subsequent hip fracture was investigated in women aged 60–99 years, hospitalized for the following fractures: lumbar spine (n 70), olecranon (n 52), knee (n 129) and ankle (n 200). Follow-up ranged from 0 to 9 years. Observation time of the 4 different fractures were 241, 180, 469, and 779, person-years, respectively. In women aged 60–79 years with one of the following fractures the relative risk of a subsequent hip fracture was increased by 4.8 (lumbar spine), 4.1 (olecranon), 3.5 (knee) and 1.5 (ankle). The relative risk of hip fracture showed a tendency to level off 3 years after the primary fracture.
