Hip fracture is a major public health problem in the Western world. The incidence of hip fractures increases with age. The incidence is also higher in white women compared with nonwhite women. Risk factors for hip fracture include low BMI, tall body structure, use of benzodiazepines, lack of exercise, previous injury to lower body extremity, vision problems, and confusion.
