"Older adults have a 5- to 8-fold increased risk for all-cause mortality during the first 3 months after hip fracture," the study authors write. "Excess annual mortality persists over time for both women and men, but at any given age, excess annual mortality after hip fracture is higher in men than in women."
It is best to build, retain and maintain bone when older through fitness with anabolic help.
Note that although osteoporosis is generally associated with women, not only do men get it, they die at higher rates than women.
