Does a high body mass index remain a protective factor in hip fracture patients with hypertension and diabetes?
This study reveals that the protective effect of high BMI on postoperative motor function in hip fracture patients is significantly modulated by comorbidities. We recommend modulating the BMI to approximately 24 kg/m<sup>2</sup> for elderly patients with hip fractures and comorbid conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
