Mortality Rate in Older Adults Persistently Increased 5- to 8-Fold After Hip Fracture

Two words - Anabolic Clinic (sm).
All-cause mortality rate in older adults is increased 5- to 8-fold 3 months after hip fracture and persists with time, according to the results of a meta-analysis reported in the March 15 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine...

"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."
