Abstract

Factors associated with lower physical performance after hip fracture are physical function before hip fracture and cognitive impairment. The 1-year survival rate following hip fracture is a little lower than the expected survival rate ; while, the survival rate in subsequent years was lower than the expected survival rate. Factors associated with mortality are male sex, impaired walking ability before injury, cognitive impairment, diabetes mellitus, history of gastrectomy or colonectomy, and pneumonia during hospitalization. Long-term rehabilitation to maintain physical performance after hip fracture is needed.
