Recently, it has been shown that @entity173 can be effectively prevented by use of hip protectors. To determine who would gain most benefit from use of hip protectors, we conducted a study with the aim to clarify factors that contribute to the occurrence of @entity174 in individuals who fall on their hip. @entity173 @entity1 were compared with individuals who had fallen on their hip without sustaining a @entity174 . The study group consisted of 123 consecutive @entity173 @entity1 aged 70 years or over (mean age 82 years, female 82 years and male 80 years). The control group comprised 132 individuals (mean age 81 years, female 81 years and male 80 years) obtained from a prospective study on falls, who had experienced a fall that caused a visible soft tissue injury ( @entity2981 or wound) at the hip or gluteal region without sustaining a @entity174 . @entity1 were questioned about associated diseases, medications, place of residence, walking ability, need for locomotor aids and some activities in daily living (ADL). @entity1 who sustained a @entity173 were more likely to be @entity1 , living in long-term institutional care, using neuroleptics, dependent in ADL and had more history of previous @entity64 with @entity1269 , more @entity304 and lower body mass indexes (BMI) than those who did not sustain a @entity174 on fall on the hip. According to a logistical regression model, institutional residence, low BMI and history of @entity64 with hemiplegic status differed between @entity174 cases and controls. Institutional residence, low BMI and history of @entity64 discriminate @entity173 @entity1 from fallers who sustain a soft tissue injury on the hip region. In clinical practice, @entity1 who have these characteristics would be potential candidates to use hip protectors and other preventive measures.
