Rising proximal humerus fracture incidence signals growing osteoporosis burden in elderly; leaves open whether trends persist or warrant updated prevention.
Observational
The incidence of osteoporotic fractures of the proximal humerus in elderly Finnish people increased substantially between 1970 and 1993, highlighting a growing public health burden.
Kannus et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Osteoporotic fractures of the proximal humerus. Time period (1970 to 1993) vs. 1970 baseline was evaluated on Age-adjusted incidence of osteoporotic fractures of the proximal humerus per 100,000 people. Between 1970 and 1993, the age-adjusted incidence of osteoporotic fractures of the proximal humerus in Finland increased from 50 to 106 per 100,000 in women and from 14 to 41 per 100,000 in men.
