ABSTRACT
Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a higher risk of fragility fractures, as well as higher mortality in the first year post-fracture. The SES variables that have the greatest impact are educational level, income level, and cohabitation status. Significant disparities exist among racial and ethnic minorities in access to osteoporosis screening and treatment. In Spain, a higher risk of fractures has been described in people with a low income level, residence in rural areas during childhood and low educational level. The Civil War cohort effect is a significant risk factor for hip fracture. There is significant geographic variability in hip fracture care, although the possible impact of socioeconomic factors has not been analyzed. It would be desirable to act on socioeconomic inequalities to improve the prevention and treatment of osteoporotic fractures.
