Overview

Analysis reveals the rising incidence and YLDs of forearm fractures, highlighting trends across demographics and causes.

Key Points

  • Forearm fractures have increased in incidence globally since 1990, with a notable rise in health burdens among females.
  • The incidence rose from over 26 million in 1990 to nearly 32 million in 2021, despite a decrease in age-standardized rates.
  • The bimodal distribution indicates the highest incidence rates among youth and older adults, particularly among females.
  • Falls are identified as the leading cause of forearm fractures, with significant implications due to aging populations.
