Are the high hip fracture rates among Norwegian women explained by impaired bone material properties?

Duarte-Sosa Daysi , Vilaplana Laila , Guerri Roberto , Nogues Xavier , Diez-Perez Adolfo , Eriksen Erik Fink

Hip+ fracture rate in Norway is the highest registered in World, and more than double that of Spanish women. Previous studies were unable to demonstrate significant differences between the two populations with respect to bone mass or calcium metabolism. In order to test, whether the difference in fracture propensity between both populations could be explained by differences in bone material quality we assessed bone material strength using microindentation in 41 Norwegian and 4...
