Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and mortality for hip fracture in the elderly in Jeju-do.
Methods: We enrolled 254 cases among 318 patients older than 50 years of age with a hip fracture during two years period(2003-2004). We investigated the incidence and mortality during follow up 3~4 years period until December 31, 2007.
Results: The crude incidences of hip fracture the age group ≥50 years were 141(11.2/10,000) in 2003, 177(13.6/10,000) in 2004, and 249(17.0/10,000), 69(6.3/10,000) for women and men, respectively. The mean age of them was 78.3 years, male was 69(21.7%), female was 249(78.3%) among 318 patients. Survivor was in the 146(57.5%), death was in the 108(42.5%) among 254 cases period for follow up. In the death group, activity was significantly lower at the time of post-fracture 3(p=0.013), 6(p=0.000), and 12 months(p=0.000). The mortality of hip fracture and crude death rate(CDR) were 108(42.5%, n=254), 11,884(1.7%, n=675,889) in 2003~2007 in Jeju.
Conclusion: Developing and applying a variety of activity programs that increase activity in post-fracture may improve activities of daily living, reduce burden of family and society, be useful in improving the quality of life and ultimately lower the mortality.
