4. Johnell O, Kanis JA: An estimate of the worldwide prevalence, mortality and disability associated with hip fracture. Osteoporos Int 2004, 15:897–902. An attempt is made to quantify the global burden of osteoporosis as measured by hip fracture. Incidences were computed for the different world regions based on the estimates of Gullberg et al. [12] or from more recent studies. Impact was estimated in terms of years of life lost and disability adjusted life-years. This is a good first attempt but highlights the need for better data to measure the burden in all regions of the world. It is difficult to make assumptions about mortality and morbidity with the paucity of present data about differences in management and outcome of hip fracture between countries.
5. The Burden of Musculoskeletal Diseases at the Start of the New Millenium. Report of a WHO Scientific Group. WHO Technical Report Series No 919. Geneva, Switzerland, World Health Organization 2003. The global burden of musculoskeletal conditions is reviewed including osteoporosis and fracture. The available evidence is identified for incidence, prevalence, and impact has been collated. Recommendations are made about health and economic indicators that need to be collected. How to describe health status and the consequences of a musculoskeletal condition has been considered and recommendations made.
