multiplying individual lifetime costs at different ages by the incidence of hip fractures
(incidence-based cost-of-illness study). To calculate individual lifetime costs, a Markov
decision model was developed. Secondary data were used. Results Total annual costs
related to hip fractures were euro 2.77 billion. Due to population aging, costs of hip fractures

Methods
Annual costs of hip fractures were determined from a societal perspective, by multiplying individual lifetime costs at different ages by the incidence of hip fractures (incidence-based cost-of-illness study). To calculate individual lifetime costs, a Markov decision model was developed. Secondary data were used.
Results
Total annual costs related to hip fractures were euro 2.77 billion. Due to population aging, costs of hip fractures may increase to euro 3.85 billion in 2030.
Conclusion
The result implies the need to identify effective prevention strategies for hip fractures and evaluate their cost-effectiveness.
