Identifying the characteristics of falls leading to hip fracture may provide information about high risk individuals, environment, and activities useful for the development of intervention strategies. Little is known, however, about the incidence and characteristics of falls leading to hip fracture in Middle Eastern countries. Therefore, the authors presented data from the Iranian Multicenter Study on Accidental Injuries, a prospective population-based study conducted in 9 provinces of Iran in 2003.

Annual incidence rates of injurious fall events and related hip fractures were 116.3 and 30.4 per 100,000 person-years, respectively. These figures were 237.1 and 93.6 per 100,000 person-years for people over the age of 50 years, respectively. 71% of ...Continue Reading
