In recent study by summarize longitudinal evidence about the magnitude and duration of excess mortality after hip fracture in older men and women found that older adults have a 5-fold to 8-fold increased risk for all-cause mortality during the first 3 months after hip fracture, and risk to the men is higher than women.

Estimated excess annual mortality rate associated to hip fracture at age 80 years by using life-table methods found;
- after 1, 2, 5 and 10 years injury the rate are 18%, 22%, 26%, and 20% for men compare the men without hip fracture.
- and for the women with same years after injury, the rate are 8%, 11%, 18%, and 22% compared with women who had no hip fracture.

Although whether the excess mortality persist overtime, the researcher still not clear.
The study author, Patrick Haentiens MD, PhD, from the Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel in Jette, and colleagues, said, “The absolute risk for death and excess all-cause mortality in patients with hip fracture are largely dependent on age. These finding may be helpful when performing cost-effectiveness analysis of hip fracture prevention strategies or designing treatment strategies in patients with hip fracture.”
