However, in age groups up to 70 years and over 85 years, the frequency of proximal femur fractures was higher among men. From 2014 to 2019, the incidence of proximal femur fractures increased by 1.6 times. An analysis of the distribution of fracture frequency by season revealed that winter was the most dangerous period.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="text-justify:kashida"><span style="text-kashida:0%"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal">&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Conclusion:</b> Our research suggests a need for further epidemiological studies on the incidence of proximal femur fractures in various regions, identifying risk factors, and developing targeted regional prevention programs.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Epidemiology, Fracture, Osteoporosis, Femur, Proximal Femur, Body Mass Index 378 382 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-8476-4&slc_lang=other&sid=1 Khadisha Kashikova hadisha.kash@gmail.com 200319475328460089288 200319475328460089288 Yes Caspian University, International School of Medicine, Almaty, Kazakhstan Ergali Nabiyev 9193md@mail.ru 200319475328460089289 200319475328460089289 No KazNMU named S.D.
