[Lifestyle-related hip fracture risk].

Proximal femoral fracture (PFF) has long become a target for intervention with pharmacologic agents and pharmacologic intervention has been shown to reduce the fracture risk at least by half, compared to placebo, but PFF still continues to increase in incidence. Causes of fracture include bone-related and other factors but data remains yet to be accumulated on the relationship between these causes and lifestyle-related factors, such as nutrition, exercise and lifestyle preferences, which should be essential to establishing osteoporosis as a lifestyle-related disease. Furthermore, despite the paucity of evidence on the relationship between PFF and lifestyle habits, consideration should be given to developing preventive measures against PFF which take into account the potential impact of lifestyle-related factors on the occurrence of PFF to produce positive results.
