Outline of Final Research Achievements

The incidence of hip fracture in patients aged over50 years in 2015 in Niigata Prefecture, Japan was investigated. In 2015, 3214 hip fractures (282.7 per 100,000 persons per year) occurred in Niigata Prefecture. Only 26% of patients were considered cognitively normal assessed with MMSE score in the elderly with hip fracture. Cognitive impairment is associated with low serum 25-hydorxyvitamin D.We should focus on the prevention of hip fracture in eldery people for non-beddriden status in our sciety.
