将1979年至1981年居住在夏威夷冲绳的日本血统男性和女性的髋部骨折发病率与1984年至1985年居住在日本冲绳的日本血统男性和女性的髋部骨折发病率进行比较。 这两个比率进一步比较了各种美国白人人口，包括罗切斯特，明尼苏达州，从1978年至1982年。 日本血统人群的髋部骨折发生率和累积（年龄50-84岁）髋部骨折发生率约为白人男性和女性的一半。 虽然冲绳人的饮食和其他文化特征比冲绳人更加西化，但冲绳人和冲绳人之间的髋部骨折率没有明显差异。 需要进一步的研究来确定观察到的高加索人和日本人之间骨折率的差异是否与骨量、体型、福尔斯频率或其他因素的差异有关。
Hip fracture incidence rates among men and women of Japanese ancestry living on Oahu, Hawaii, from 1979 to 1981 were compared with rates for Japanese living on Okinawa, Japan, from 1984 to 1985. Both rates were further compared with those for various American Caucasian populations, including that of Rochester, Minnesota, from 1978 to 1982. Age-specific and cumulative (age 50-84 years) hip fracture rates among persons of Japanese ancestry were approximately half that of Caucasians for both sexes. Although diet and other cultural attributes of the Oahu group have become more westernized than the Okinawan population, there were no detectable differences in hip fracture rates between Oahu and Okinawa Japanese. Additional studies are needed to determine whether the observed differences in fracture rates between Caucasians and Japanese might be related to differences in bone mass, body size, frequency of falls, or other factors.
