Racial and ethnic differences in hip fracture outcomes in men.

CONCLUSIONS: Although hip fracture rates were largely stable among older men, contemporary rates of hip fracture were highest for white and lowest for Asian men. One-year mortality was similar for white, black, and Hispanic men, but significantly lower for Asians. Future studies should investigate factors underlying observed ethnic differences in fracture outcome among US men. PMID: 29087156 [PubMed - in process]
