- Abstract
The impact of socioeconomic status-income and acculturation-on hip fracture is not well understood. We studied 116,919 fractures among 8,144,469 people in California. Greater income and English fluency predict lower fracture incidence. Lower income and immigrant populations are at increased risk for hip fracture and require intervention. Race/ethnicity is a major determinant of hip fracture risk. Although socioeconomic status (e.g., income and acculturation) is often associated with race/ethnicity, its impact on hip fracture incidence is less well understood.
