Association of Serum Estradiol and Testosterone With Hip Fractures in Elderly Men

Key Points

• Hip fractures in elderly men are significantly associated with serum estradiol and testosterone levels, indicating a hormonal influence.
• The study found that lower testosterone levels were linked to a higher risk of hip fractures in a cohort of men aged over 65.
• Observational analysis focused on serum estradiol and testosterone, measuring their potential impact on hip fractures among elderly men.
• These findings suggest a need for further investigation into how hormonal management might help prevent hip fractures in older populations.
