Abstract

Review of records of the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska show that the incidence of hip fracture in Inuit women over 64 years of age was higher than the incidence in white US women in 1979-89 and had increased farther by 1996-99. The hip fracture incidence of Inuit men was higher than US men in 1996-99.
