Hip Fractures and Their Causes and Prevention
This Special Issue invited original papers with important and novel contributions related to hip fractures, their causes, and prevention strategies. Reviews, original research papers, short communications, and letters were welcome.
Why this collection matters: Hip fractures remain a major health challenge in aging populations and are associated with high morbidity, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. The supplied record identifies modifiable risk factors and effective prevention strategies, including primary and secondary prevention for repeat fractures. It encourages work addressing muscle-related factors, obesity, vitamin D, nutrition, comorbid illness, depression, and medication use.
The published JARH record is Volume 3, Issue 2 and includes two Special Issue articles dated 2020. A published collection does not establish that it accepts new submissions.
