And the hazard ratio is 2.78. So again, what does that mean? 2.78 means a 178% increase in the risk of mortality within one year following a hip fracture.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
This has a greater mortality than smoking.

This study was able to then compare total mortality and look at the hazard ratio in the first year following the hip fracture. So now this is asking the question what is the probability or what is the increased risk of death one year following a hip fracture in this patient population. Again these are people enrolled at the age of 60 or beyond. And the hazard ratio is 2.78.
