The aim of this population-based matched case-control study was to evaluate the effect of risk factors for hip fracture in Oslo, Norway, which has some of the highest incidence rates ever reported. The study population comprised all non-institutionalized persons 50 years or older living in the catchment area of two Oslo hospitals, and cases were 246 patients admitted for hip fracture during a 1-year period. The controls were randomly selected from the study population, matched 1:1 for age and sex. Hip fracture was associated with lean body stature, smoking, low grip strength and decreased levels of physical activity, and inversely with length of education. In addition, hip fracture was inversely related to indicators of total food intake (number of meals per day, frequency of dinners, and slices of bread per day). A relation between hip fracture and low vitamin D intake was also suggested, whereas no association with dietary calcium intake was found. Finally, increased risk of fracture was seen in persons reporting two or more hospital admissions in the previous 2 years, and in those reporting weight reduction due to poor appetite during the previous year. In conclusion, the risk factor pattern for hip fracture was much the same in the elderly population of Oslo as previously described in other populations with a lower incidence of fracture. This study also indicates a relation between hip fracture and low food intake.

In this matched case-control study from Oslo, risk factors for hip fracture were assessed in elderly non-institutionalized women and men. 246 hip fracture patients admitted to two hospitals in the course of one year were matched by sex and age to controls living in the catchment area of the hospitals We found increased risk of hip fracture in lean persons, in persons with self-reported weight loss because of poor appetite, and in persons with low food intake. One third of the hip fracture patients ate less than three slices of bread per day and one fourth ate less than three meals a day. We found no relation between calcium intake and hip fracture, whereas higher risk of fracture was suggested in persons with low vitamin D intake. Hip fracture was also associated with low levels of physical activity, low hand grip strength, smoking, low level of education, and frequent admissions to hospital prior to the study.
