More walkable areas linked to lower hip fracture risk in older women

Women’s relative hip fracture rate was 0.72 compared with women one standard deviation lower in neighbourhood walkability, an increment reflecting variation in scores.Women’s relative hip fracture rate was 0.72 compared with women one standard deviation lower in neighbourhood walkability, an increment reflecting variation in scores.

Red blood cell variation is linked to higher hip fracture risk

Each one-percentage-point increase in red blood cell distribution width was linked to an 8% higher hazard of hip fracture over 14 years.Each one-percentage-point increase in red blood cell distribution width was linked to an 8% higher hazard of hip fracture over 14 years.

Lemborexant linked to fewer hip fractures in older adults

Older adults starting lemborexant had a lower rate of hip fracture than those starting Z-drugs, with a hazard ratio of 0.31 over one year.Older adults starting lemborexant had a lower rate of hip fracture than those starting Z-drugs, with a hazard ratio of 0.31 over one year.
