Analyses included trends in incidence, YLDs, age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR) and age-standardised YLDs rates (ASYR) for both sexes globally and across 204 countries. Fracture-specific data were analysed by anatomical site, age group and regions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>From 1990 to 2021, the global incidence and YLDs of fall-related fractures rose significantly. While ASIR and ASYR declined overall, they began to rise again over the past 4 years. In 2021, there were approximately 100.5\u2009million new fracture cases, a 49.5% increase since 1990, with a 35.6% increase in females and a 64.6% increase in males. ASIR decreased by 7% overall, with declines of 9.8% in females and 2.8% in males. The most common fracture sites were the hand, femur and vertebral column. Regionally, the highest ASIR was observed in males in Saudi Arabia and in females in Andorra.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The global burden of fractures attributable to falls has increased markedly, particularly among females. Although ASIR and ASYR have declined overall, recent years have seen a resurgence. Targeted prevention strategies in high-risk populations and regions are crucial to mitigate the future burden of fall-related fractures.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip-2025-045687","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,3]],"date-time":"2025-09-03T17:20:33Z","timestamp":1756920033000},"page":"ip-2025-045687","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Rising burden of fall-related fractures: insights from the global burden of disease study"],"prefix":"10.1136","author":[{"given":"Chengfan","family":"Zhong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Gaozhou People\u2019s Hospital, Gaozhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunqiu","family":"Mai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The People\u2019s Hospital of Xincheng, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Gaozhou People\u2019s Hospital, Gaozhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Liufu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Gaozhou People\u2019s Hospital, Gaozhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianmin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Gaozhou People\u2019s Hospital, Gaozhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0972-8881","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianqiang","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Gaozhou People\u2019s Hospital, Gaozhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090310202118000_ip-2025-045687v1.1","unstructured":"WHO .
