en Prevalence and Incidence of Hip Fracture in the World: A Systematic Review Epidemiology systematic reviews Systematic Reviews <div style="text-align: justify;">Background: Hip fracture, a serious complication of osteoporosis, is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Incidence of hip fractures varies among countries worldwide, particularly in individuals aged 50 years and above. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and incidence of hip fractures worldwide systematically. Materials and Methods: This study systematically reviewed English-language articles published between 2002 and 2022. The articles were sourced from internationally recognized databases, including Proquest, Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus. The search strategy employed Mesh terms, specifically "Period Prevalence," "Incidence," and "Hip Fracture." The study encompassed cohort, cross-sectional, and case-control studies that reported the prevalence and incidence of hip fractures in populations aged 18 years and above. A total of 40 articles were selected for analysis. Results: Based on the studies reviewed, Australia had the highest hip fracture prevalence rate (63%), while the United States had the lowest rate (2.3%). In East Asian countries, Japan had an incidence rate of 1.92 per 1000 persons, and Taiwan had a rate of 649 per 100,000 persons. Conclusion: Hip fracture incidence changes occur in developed and certain Asian countries. A health strategy is needed to identify key factors for fracture prevention and post-fracture care for better outcomes in older individuals.</div> Prevalence,Incidence,Hip Fractures, 233 246 http://johe.rums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-756-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 khadijeh Kalan Farmanfarma - - kalan_farma@yahoo.com 22400319475328460013300 22400319475328460013300 No Assistant Prof., Trauma Research Center, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran.
