Description
Ninety percent of the more than 352,000 hip fractures in the U.S. each year are the result of a fall. The remaining 10 percent of the hip fractures occur spontaneously due to low bone density or osteoporosis. Spontaneous fractures can then precipitate the fall. Women have two to three times as many hip fractures as men, and white post menopausal women have a 1 in 7 chance of a hip fracture during their lifetime. Learn some strategies for reducing your risk.
