Epidemiology of major osteoporotic fractures: a population-based analysis in Catalonia, Spain

Xavier Suris et al.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the incidence of major osteoporotic fractures in Catalonia, Spain in 2018 and 2019 and their association with age, sex, income, climate, and comorbidities. The results showed that major osteoporotic fractures are frequent in the adult Catalan population, especially in older women and people with low incomes. Hip fracture was the most common type, followed by forearm and vertebral fractures. Smoking, alcohol abuse, and certain comorbidities were associated with a higher incidence of fractures, while obesity was found to be a protective factor.
