Hip Fractures from Osteoporosis Predicted to Double by 2050
- Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five men over 50 globally, with hip fracture rates projected to double by 2050 due to aging populations and inadequate treatment
- Fewer than half of hip fracture patients worldwide receive osteoporosis treatment, despite evidence that coordinated fracture liaison services effectively prevent secondary fractures and reduce mortality rates
- Calcium and vitamin D3 work synergistically for bone strength, but many people struggle to convert vitamin D3 into its active form due to impaired enzyme function within cells
- Bones require collagen for elasticity and flexibility, not just calcium. Ideally, one-third of protein intake should come from collagen sources like bone broth or gelatinous meats
- Resistance training two to three times weekly significantly strengthens bones, particularly at the hip and spine, while low-impact activities like walking provide insufficient stimulus for bone growth
