Data were analyzed from May 31, 2022, to February 14, 2024.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>Age- and period-specific incidence rates of hip fracture and hip replacement stratified on fracture-related vs arthritis-related indication.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>From 1996 to 2018, a total of 3\u202f664\u202f979 individuals were followed up for a mean (SD) of 14.6 (7.7) years, resulting in a follow-up time of 53\u202f517\u202f861 person-years and 158\u202f982 (first) hip fractures, of which 42\u202f825 involved fracture-related hip replacement procedures. A further 104\u202f422 individuals underwent arthritis-related hip replacement. During the first 2 decades of the 21st century, hip fracture rates declined by 35% to 40% for individuals aged 70 to 104 years, and the proportion of the population undergoing fracture-related hip replacement increased by 50% to 70%, with modest variation across those aged 75 to 99 years. Rates of arthritis-related hip replacements peaked for individuals aged 75 to 79 years, but with the largest relative rate increase (75%-100%) occurring for those aged 80 to 94 years, primarily from 2001 to 2015, whereafter it remained nearly unchanged. The decline in rates of arthritis-related hip replacement after 75 to 79 years of age was gradual and did not suggest an upper age limit for access to arthritis-related hip replacement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>The findings of this cohort study suggest that during the past several decades in Denmark, the incidence of hip fractures declined by 35% to 40% among patients aged 80 to 104 years, while the proportion receiving fracture-related hip replacement remained relatively constant after 75 years of age. During the first decades of the 21st century, arthritis-related hip replacement incidence increased by 50% to 100% among older patients and stabilized hereafter, with no apparent cutoff age for this type of procedure. These patterns indicate a positive overall trend with declining hip fracture incidence over the last decades in Denmark, and the observed hip replacement incidence suggests that age is currently not a major determining factor guiding this type of surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2024.9186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,1]],"date-time":"2024-05-01T15:20:35Z","timestamp":1714576835000},"page":"e249186","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Trends
