Study links physical health questions to hip fracture risk in aging populations

Researchers have identified associations between self-reported physical health measures and long-term hip fracture risk in both men and women, according to a new PLOS ONE analysis. The findings could help healthcare systems and insurers better identify high-risk individuals and design targeted prevention programs, potentially reducing costly fracture-related hospitalizations and care.
