O estudo encontra disparidades raciais significativas nas taxas de fratura óssea entre as mulheres mais velhas, com as mulheres brancas tendo o maior risco. Study finds significant racial disparities in bone fracture rates among older women, with White women having the highest risk.

Um estudo no Journal of Bone and Mineral Research destaca disparidades raciais significativas nas taxas de fratura óssea entre as mulheres mais velhas, com as mulheres brancas tendo o maior risco. A study in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research highlights significant racial disparities in bone fracture rates among older women, with White women having the highest risk. As mulheres asiáticas indianas neste grupo tiveram a maior taxa de incidência padronizada por idade para qualquer fratura, enquanto as mulheres filipinas tiveram a menor. Asian Indian women in this group had the highest age-standardized incidence rate for any fracture, while Filipina women had the lowest. As mulheres hispânicas, como as mulheres cubanas, tiveram a maior taxa de incidência de fraturas, enquanto as mulheres de origem hispânica não especificada tiveram a menor. Hispanic women, such as Cuban women, had the highest fracture incidence rate, while women of unspecified Hispanic origin had the lowest. As mulheres negras tinham o menor risco. Black women had the lowest risk. A pesquisa exige maior compreensão dos fatores subjacentes a essas disparidades e enfatiza a importância de incorporar essas descobertas em algoritmos de previsão de fraturas. The research calls for further understanding of factors underlying these disparities and emphasizes the importance of incorporating these findings into fracture prediction algorithms.
