Objective:To study the effects of aging on the proximal femur geometry and their clinical significances. Methods:Totally 255 women over the age of 50 were divided into three groups by age:group A(n=156,aged under 65 years old),group B(n=55,aged between 66 and 75 years old),and group C(n=44,aged over 75 years old). There were 191 women in non-fracture group and 64 women in fracture group. The patients’radiographs of the pelvis were used to measure the geometric parameters of the proximal femur. Results:(1)There was no significant statistical difference in the femoral neck axis length(FNAL) among group A,B and C. (2)There were significant statistical differences in the femoral neck width(FNW) between group A and C. (3)~(4)There were significant sta-tistical differences in femoral medullary cavity width(FMCW) and cortical thickness of femoral neck(FNCT) between group A,B and A,C. (5)There were statistical differences in the ratios of FNCT/FNW and FNW/FNL between group A,B and A,C. (6)There were significant statistical differences in age,FNAL,FNW,FMCW,FNCT,the ratios of FNCT/FNW and FNW/FNL between non-fracture group and fracture group. (7)There was no statistic difference in femoral neck-shaft angle(NSA) among group A,B and C and be-tween non-fracture group and fracture group. Conclusion:The risk of hip fracture is increased with aging due to thinning of cortiex and expansion of medullary cavity of the proximal femur.
