Lower incidence of hip fractures among elderly Ethiopian immigrants to Israel: first assessment from the Israel National Trauma Registry (INTR) 2011–2020
Authors' conclusion
In Israel, EB subjects ≥ 50 years still enjoy protection from HF.
Study context
- Population
- People aged ≥ 50 years in Israel, 2011–2020, in the Israel National Trauma Registry
- Exposure
- Ethiopian-born vs non-Ethiopian-born subjects aged ≥ 50 years
- Outcome
- Annual age-adjusted HF incidence rates and SIR, EB relative to others
Methodological detailsregistry-based (Israel National Trauma Registry), age-adjusted incidence rates, standardized incidence ratios
- Registry-based (Israel National Trauma Registry)
- Age-adjusted incidence rates
- Standardized incidence ratios
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
2011–2020
- Annual incidence rates (IR) of hip fractures (HF) lower for Ethiopian-born (EB) subjects throughout the study
- Despite an initial rise in the standardized incidence ratios (SIR), SIR also lower for most of the period
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings

P < 0.0001
Men as proportion of all HF in their group
