Depression and incident hip fracture: A longitudinal follow-up study using a national sample cohort.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the risk of hip fracture in depression patients using a nationwide cohort population.Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort for a population ?50 years of age from 2002 to 2013 were collected. The 25,197 individuals with depression were matched for age, sex, income, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, with 100,788 individuals comprising the control group. In both the depression and control groups, history of hip fracture was evaluated. Using the International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) codes, depression (F31-F39), and hip fracture (S720, S721, and S722) were investigated. The crude and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of hip fracture in depression patients were analyzed using a Cox proportional hazard model. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to age and sex.In the depression group, 1.1% (277/25,197) of the subjects had hip fracture, and 0.7% (693/100,095) in the control group had hip fracture (P?<.001). The depression group demonstrated a higher adjusted HR for hip fracture than the control group (adjusted HR?=?1.46, 95% CI?=?1.27-1.68, P?<.001). This result was consistent in the ?65 years old subgroups.The risk of hip fracture was elevated in depression patients.
