Figure Trends in osteoporosis medication use in persons over 65 years old who had a hip (A) or wrist (B) fracture. The number of hip fractures by year was as follows: n = 3359 in 1995; n = 3286 in 1996; n = 2958 in 1997; n = 2707 in 1998; n = 2579 in 1999; and n = 2436 in 2000. The number of wrist fractures by year was as follows: n = 2388 in 1995; n = 2171 in 1996; n = 2025 in 1997; n = 1851 in 1998; n = 1781 in 1999; and n = 1620 in 2000. P for trend <0.001. White bars refer to the 6 months before a fracture and black bars refer to the 6 months after a fracture. The American Journal of Medicine 2003 115, 398-400DOI: (10.1016/S0002-9343(03)00357-7)
