Clinical Trial Summary

Low Body Mass Index (BMI) is a risk factor for hip fracture, but it is unknown if it is the low BMI per se that increases risk of hip fracture or if specific micro-nutrients contribute. The investigators want to elucidate this aspect in a case control study studying micronutrients in serum and bone turnover markers of hip fracture patients compared with controls of the same age.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Cases are admitted acutely for a femoral neck fracture, a trochanteric or a subtrochanteric femoral fracture.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Hip fracture as part of multi-trauma or high energy trauma (defined as a fall from a higher level than 1 metre). One recent fracture in addition to the hip fracture (e.g. radius or shoulder) is acceptable.

• Regarded as moribund at admittance.

• Absence of a valid informed consent or assent.
