Quantitative modelling of hip fracture trends in 14 European countries: testing variations of a shared reversal over time

Abstract Qualitative similarities between hip fracture trends in different countries suggests variations of the same epidemic. We tested a single statistical shape to describe time trends in Europe, while allowing for country-level variability. Using data from 14 countries, we modelled incidence rat...
