A recent analysis found poor survival rates after bone fractures in older adults, with fewer than a third of men and half of women surviving five years after a fracture. Hip breaks proved more deadly than some cancers in the elderly.
A recent analysis found poor survival rates after bone fractures in older adults, with fewer than a third of men and half of women surviving five years after a fracture. Published in JBMR Plus, the study looked at a cohort of 98,474 Ontario residents age 66 and older who suffered fractures to parts of the body associated with osteoporosis between January 2011 and March 2015.
5 percent of women survived, compared with 92.2 percent of men with no fractures and 93.1 percent of women without fractures. Less than a third of men and half of women with fractures survived five years after a bone break. Survival rates were “marginally better” for those with vertebral fractures, the researchers write.
