Incident fragility fractures have a long-term negative impact on health-related quality of life of older people: The Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research Feb 12, 2019
Borhan S, et al. - Using 10-year prospective data from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos), researchers explored the long-term impact of incident fragility fractures on health-related quality of life (HRQL) of older people (aged 50 years and older). This study was based on data from 7,753 CaMos participants. According to the findings obtained, single and multiple fractures of the hip, as well as multiple fractures of the spine and rib have a strong impact on the HRQL of older people for a long time. Fractures in the hip and spine have had a negative impact on mobility, self-care and ambulation.
