Nutritional Risk Factors for Hip Fracture: a Case Control Study

Completed

• Conditions: Hip Fracture

• Registration Number: NCT01738776
• Lead Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital

Brief Summary

Low Body Mass Index (BMI) is a risk factor for hip fracture, but it is unknown if it is the low BMI per se that increases risk of hip fracture or if specific micro-nutrients contribute. The investigators want to elucidate this aspect in a case control study studying micronutrients in serum and bone turnover markers of hip fracture patients compared with controls of the same age.

Inclusion Criteria

Cases are admitted acutely for a femoral neck fracture, a trochanteric or a subtrochanteric femoral fracture.

Exclusion Criteria

• Hip fracture as part of multi-trauma or high energy trauma (defined as a fall from a higher level than 1 metre). One recent fracture in addition to the hip fracture (e.g. radius or shoulder) is acceptable.
• Regarded as moribund at admittance.
• Absence of a valid informed consent or assent.
