Increasing incidence of hip fracture in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Hip fracture is a major health problem in Thailand. This study attempted to examine the incidence, related factors, and trends of hip fracture in Chiang Mai, Thailand. All hip fracture data among patients aged 50. yr or older were collected from hospitals in Chiang Mai, Thailand from August 1, 2006...
