The global burden of vertebral fractures caused by falls among individuals aged 55 and older, 1990 to 2021
From 1990 to 2021, the burden of vertebral fractures due to falls among individuals aged 55 and older showed an upward trend. The burden on males may have been underestimated, and particular attention is required for high SDI regions, high-income areas like North America and Western Europe, as well as densely populated countries. With the aging population, vertebral fractures caused by falls require continued attention.
