Secular trends in major osteoporotic fractures among 50+ adults in Denmark between 1995 and 2010

ConclusionsWe observed declining trends in MOF and hip fracture for both sexes. However, a lower rate of decrease of hip fracture and an increasing trend in vertebral fracture was noticed among men. Considering our observations and the major economic burden that accompanies this devastating disease, more attention should be paid to MOF, especially in men.
