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.
