Diabetes and Femoral Fracture Patterns: A Nationwide Registry Study (1997–2021)
Authors' conclusion
Type 1 diabetes was associated with increased incidence of femoral fractures and slightly higher odds of ST/FS than hip fractures after adjustment.
Study context
- Population
- Adults ≥65 years old, Danish registries, 1997–2021
- Exposure
- T1D and T2D vs no diabetes
- Outcome
- Incidence rates (IRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of subtrochanteric/femoral shaft (ST/FS) and hip fractures

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- T1D
- IRR (ST/FS) 2.53; P < 0.001
- T1D
- IRR (hip) 2.17; P < 0.001
- T2D
- IRR (ST/FS) 1.08; P = 0.002
- T2D
- IRR (hip) 1.06; P = 0.008
Observational data: associations, not effects.
