Nutritional Risk Factors for Hip Fracture: a Case Control Study

Low Body Mass Index (BMI) is a risk factor for hip fracture, but it is unknown if it is the low BMI per se that increases risk of hip fracture or if specific micro-nutrients contribute. The investigators want to elucidate this aspect in a case control study studying micronutrients in serum and bone turnover markers of hip fracture patients compared with controls of the same age.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Cases are admitted acutely for a femoral neck fracture, a trochanteric or a subtrochanteric femoral fracture.

Exclusion criteria

  • Hip fracture as part of multi-trauma or high energy trauma (defined as a fall from a higher level than 1 metre). One recent fracture in addition to the hip fracture (e.g. radius or shoulder) is acceptable.
  • Regarded as moribund at admittance.
  • Absence of a valid informed consent or assent.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. micronutrient association with increased risk of hip fracture

    Time frame: At admission

    Blood was drawn for micronutrient analysis in hip fracture patients and in controls

Secondary outcomes

  1. Are micronutrients related to bone turnover markers

    Time frame: At admission

    Blood was drawn for bone turnover analysis. Correlation analysis with micronutrients was performed
