“…Age is closely related to a person's risk factors for illness. The older you are, the greater the risk for getting sick, especially degenerative diseases (Laksono, Nantabah and Wulandari, 2018;Wulandari and Laksono, 2019), including accidents (Kanters et al, 2020). Similar findings are also informed in several previous studies in various countries which concluded that the older a person is, the higher the risk of experiencing illness (Ma et al, 2020;Jaramillo and Willging, 2021;Wang et al, 2021).…”

Health insurance is an effort to transfer risks to increase public access to the use of health services. The study was aimed at analyzing factors related to health insurance ownership among Mollucans in Indonesia. The sample size was 788 respondents. The variables analyzed included health insurance ownership, age group, gender, education level, employment status. The final stage was employed multinomial logistic regression. The results show Mollucans in the ≤19 age group were 0.182 times more likely than Mollucans in the ≥ 50 age group to have government-run type health insurance. Mollucans in the 20-29 age group were 0.219 times more likely than Mollucans in the ≥ 50 age group to have government-run health insurance. On the other hand, Mollucans with primary education was 0.196 times more likely than Mollucans with higher education to have a government-run type of health insurance. Mollucans with secondary education was 0.415 times more likely than Mollucans with higher education to have government-run health insurance. Meanwhile, unemployed Mollucans have a probability of 0.358 times compared to employed Mollucans to have the government-run type of health insurance. Finally, unemployed Mollucans are 0.056 times more likely than employed Mollucans to have private-run health insurance. It was concluded that 3 proven variables associated with health insurance ownership among Moluccans in Indonesia, namely age group, education level, and employment status.

“…Hip fracture is common in aging populations, and its incidence is expected to increase [18][19][20]; the number of hip fractures will increase by more than 2.28 times by 2050, and the direct cost for hip fractures will increase by 1.59-fold due to population change in Asia [20,21]. Hip fractures also have a significant negative impact on mobility and quality of life, which can increase the risk of disability and death [20,[22][23][24]. In addition, the high prevalence of hip fracture surgeries for the oldest old as well as the younger old has raised attention to quality of care and the financial burden to health systems [25,26].…”

Background Little is known about hip fracture inpatient care in East Asia. This study examined the characteristics of patients, hospitals, and regions associated with delivery of hip fracture surgeries across Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. We also analyzed and compared how the resource use and a short-term outcome of the care in index hospitals varied according to factors in the respective health systems. Methods We developed comparable, nationwide, individual-level health insurance claims datasets linked with hospital- and regional-level statistics across the health systems using common protocols. Generalized linear multi-level analyses were conducted on length of stay (LOS) and total cost of index hospitalization as well as inpatient death. Results The majority of patients were female and aged 75 or older. The standardized LOS of the hospitalization for hip fracture surgery was 32.5 (S.D. = 18.7) days in Japan, 24.7 (S.D. = 12.4) days in Korea, and 7.1 (S.D. = 2.9) days in Taiwan. The total cost per admission also widely varied across the systems. Hospitals with a high volume of hip fracture surgeries had a lower LOS across all three systems, while other factors associated with LOS and total cost varied across countries. Conclusion There were wide variations in resource use for hip fracture surgery in the index hospital within and across the three health systems with similar social health insurance schemes in East Asia. Further investigations into the large variations are necessary, along with efforts to overcome the methodological challenges of international comparisons of health system performance.

“…In these studies, especially effects of osteoporosis on the incidence, mortality and health expenditures of hip fractures were highlighted. [7,8] In our study, fracture localization, age-gender distribution, and the long-lasting winter season in our region on fractures were examined in more detail rather than the relationship between these fractures and osteoporosis.…”

With the rapidly increasing and diversifying elderly population of industrialized countries, the incidence of geriatric fractures is gradually increasing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the distribution of geriatric fractures according to the prevalence, age, sex, season and years. Material and Method:Analyzes of geriatric fractures in patients aged 65 and over who were admitted to our emergency department between January 2015 and December 2020 were performed according to the most common fracture locations (hip, distal forearm, proximal humerus and ankle). The distribution of these fractures by age, gender, seasonal characteristics and years was evaluated Results: A total of 370 cases (168 male, and 202 female patients) with an average age of 79.5± 9.02 years were included in the study. The most common fracture stypes in order of decreasing frequency were fractures of the hip (51.7%), distal forearm (25.1%), proximal humerus (12.4%) and ankle (10.8%). The incidence of distal forearm fractures was significantly higher in females than males (p=0.001), but any statistically significant difference was not found between genders regarding other fractures (p> 0.05). It was observed that the incidence of hip fractures was significantly higher in the people aged 86 years and over, while the other fractures were more frequently seen in the 65-75 age group. A seasonal feature was not observed in all fractures. The highest rate of hip fractures was seen in the year 2020. There was no difference in the distribution of other types of fractures over the years Conclusion: It has been concluded that the incidence of geriatric fractures increases relatively in conditions of social isolation and does not show seasonal characteristics in our region. We are of the opinion that a good management strategy should be determined characterized with both the isolation of these patients and their early treatment and discharge in disasters as pandemics, and the incidence of geriatric fractures that can be mortal with advancing age should be very well known.
