<hip fracture rates have fallen>
<senior researcher Dr. Timothy Bhattacharyya, of the U.S. National Institute of Arthritis and
Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases>
good health news for Americans, a replacement government study finds that hip fracture rates have fallen
substantially since the 1970s. Between 1970 and 2010, broken hips dropped by two-thirds among
Americans during a decades-long health study. The likely reason? Researchers say drops in both smoking
and heavy drinking played a big role. The improvement was true for both women and men, researchers
found, and therefore the biggest change was seen among the foremost elderly people. Early on within the
study period, people aged 85 to 89 were suffering broken hips at a rate of two ,018 per 100,000 people per
annum . That eventually fell to 759 fractures per 100,000 people per annum .
