“…The average age of Finnish hip fracture patients is 81.6 years for women and 76.0 years for men (Korhonen et al 2013). In Finland, the incidence of hip fractures increased up to the end of the 1990s (Kannus et al 1999) and declined thereafter (Kannus et al 2006, Korhonen et al 2013, especially among women and persons over age 65 (Korhonen et al 2013). The reasons for the decline are unclear, but better overall health and physical function, fall prevention programs, increased body weight and better osteoporosis prevention, interventions for polypharmacy, modifications of environmental hazards and increased D-vitamin intake among older people might partly explain the decline.…”
