Contra-lateral hip fracture in the elderly: are decreased body mass index and skin thickness predictive factors?

Abstract: A low BMI and a decreased skin thickness increase independently the risk of fractures by three times. When associated, they increase the risk of fracture risk by five times. This combination had a sensitivity at 71 % and a specificity at 90 % for predicting hip fracture.

“…Most of these people are suffering from excessive weight and obesity that inevitably affect their health and restrict their movement which is one of the most important problems between the elderly people. In our study we found that 37.5% of them had overweight BMI and compared with other study in Norway [34], they reported the increasing of BMI lead to decrease the risk of hip fracture and another study in France; they mentioned the low BMI independently increased the risk of fractures [35].This difference in view is due to the difference in the lifestyle between countries and the factors that cause hip fracture.…”

“…BMI is associated with the incidence of fracture. Aurégan et al [ 15 ] suggest that low BMI independently increase the risk of fractures. Johansson et al [ 16 ] also found that low BMI was a risk factor for hip and all osteoporotic fracture.…”

“…Recently, interest in this medical hypothesis has been renewed for a specific population – contra-lateral hip fractures. 43 Fifth, the selection of the studies included in our study represents another limitation. It is possible that studies performed during the interval but not published in English or not published at all were not included in this review.…”
