Calcium deficiency worldwide: prevalence of inadequate intakes and associated health outcomes.

58 Crude incidence of hip fractures among Indians from Rohtak, North India was reported as 105 and 159/100,000 in men and women, respectively, >50 years of age, with an increasing trend in rates noted with increasing age in both sexes. 59 Population prevalence of low trauma hip, spine, and wrist fractures in a questionnaire‐based study was reported as 34.3/100,000. 55 Multiple reports show that while hip fracture rates have stabilized or decreased in HICs, they have been steadily increasing in LMICs. 60 Projections on incidence of hip fractures in India indicated that by 2050, there would be a 2.39‐fold increase in the total number of hip fractures compared with 2018. 60 However, increased rates may be attributed to increased life expectancy among Asians.
