This topic area covers statistics and information relating to falls and frailty including hip fractures in Hull including local strategic need and service provision.

This page contains information from the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips. Information is taken ‘live’ from the site so uses the latest available data from Fingertips and displays it on this page. As a result, some comments on this page may relate to an earlier period of time until this page is next updated (see review dates at the end of this page).

Headlines

  • It is important to know which patients are frail so that additional support can be tailored to those who are most vulnerable to reduce falls and other accidents and injuries resulting from their frailty as well as other support that might be needed in relation to their wellbeing.
  • In 2024, there were over 19,000 patients registered with moderate or severe frailty (4,975 severe frailty and 14,356 moderate frailty). In the last six years, there has been a 50% increase in the number of registered patients with moderate or severe frailty in Hull. It is possible that part of the increase could be due to better recording of the individual components that make up the electronic frailty index. It is likely that these numbers will increase further in Hull due to the ageing population, and increases in comorbidity and ill-health among older people as they live longer.
  • Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. For 2023/24, 577 (0.5%) patients aged 50+ who were registered with Hull GPs had a diagnosis of osteoporosis which was half the rate in England.
  • Anyone can have a fall, but older people are more vulnerable than others. This is mainly because long-term health conditions increase the chances of a fall. Falls can also have an adverse psychological impact on elderly people and can also result in hip fractures which can be very serious with about 10% dying within one month, and about one third dying within 12 months.
  • The rate of emergency hospital admissions for injuries related to falls among those aged 65+ years were statistically significantly higher in Hull compared to England between 2010/11 and 2017/18, but admission rates in Hull have fallen at a faster rate than England and as a result, the rate has been lower or comparable to England for the last six years.
  • There were 780 emergency hospital admissions for injuries related to falls among Hull residents aged 65+ years during 2023/24 (315 aged 65-79 years and 465 aged 80+ years).
  • The emergency hospital admission rate for hip fractures has also been consistently higher in Hull compared to England, but in contrast to emergency hospital admissions for injuries related to falls, the rate has continued to be higher in Hull compared to England in the last few years. For the latest period 2023/24, the emergency hospital admission rate for hip fractures for Hull residents aged 65+ years was statistically significantly higher than England.
  • There were 265 emergency hospital admissions for hip fracture among Hull residents aged 65+ years during 2023/24 (105 aged 65-79 years and 160 aged 80+ years).
  • Due to the ageing population, it is anticipated that the number of people who will have a fall will increase.
  • There were 97 deaths due to accidental falls that were registered among residents over the three year period 2021 to 2023 (50 men and 47 women). There has been some year-on-year variability, but the mortality rate from accidental falls has been increasing in Hull for both men and women, although the increase in Hull has been reasonably comparable to the increase observed across England. The mortality rate due to accidental falls in Hull has generally been lower than England over the last 20 or so years. It is possible that the mortality rate could increase could be due to the ageing population, but it is also possible that recording has improved with more deaths recorded as having resulted from an accidental fall.

The Population Affected – Why Is It Important?

Frailty can develop as a consequence of a range of long-term conditions throughout an individual’s life but is more often associated with age-related decline in multiple body systems, which results in vulnerability to sudden health status changes triggered by minor stress or events such as an infection or a fall at home (British Geriatrics Society and the Royal College of Nursing, 2015).

Polypharmacy (being on multiple medications), having long-term conditions such as respiratory or circulatory disease, and having had a previous fall or falls all increase the risk of frailty. There is also a link to deprivation. From the Marmot Review, people living in more deprived areas experience more ill health, worse access to health and social care services, and earlier death than the rest of the population. A survey published in the Journal of Public Health concluded that there was overall, greater area-level deprivation associated with higher levels of frailty, but people who survived to at least 75 years of age had similar one-year frailty trajectories, regardless or area-level deprivation. From this they suggested that interventions to reduce frailty should target younger age groups, especially those living in the most deprived areas.

It is important to know which patients are frail so that additional support can be tailored to those who are most vulnerable to reduce falls and other accidents and injuries resulting from their frailty as well as other support that might be needed in relation to their wellbeing. There may be other changes that could be made to reduce frailty such as changes to medication.

In mid-2018, people aged 65 years and over accounted for 18.2% of the population of England with those over 85 years of age making up 2.4% of England’s population. By mid-2043 the population over 65 years of age in England is projected to increase by 44.7% with this age cohort expected to account for 23.9% of the overall population of England. As the percentage of older people living in England increases so too will the number of people living with frailty and the demand for services to support.

Nationally there are policy drivers to keep people living independently at home, to avoid admissions to hospital and reduce length of stay in hospital; this is particularly relevant for frail older people. Not everything can or should be done outside hospitals, but much can be.

There are national challenges associated with frailty as noted in the NHS RightCare Frailty Toolkit and the British Geriatrics Society in June 2019:

  • Increasing numbers of people are at risk of developing frailty. A person living with mild frailty has twice the mortality risk of a fit (non-frail) older person.
  • More people living with frailty are attending emergency departments, with over 4,000 admissions daily for people living with frailty.
  • Older people living with frailty are more likely to have delayed transfers of care. Almost a half (45%) of people experiencing delayed transfers of care are aged over 85 years with approximately 50% of people aged 85+ years will encounter frailty.
  • People living with frailty could often have their needs met best in settings outside of acute hospital care. Severe frailty care often brings over four times the costs of non-frailty care.

Falls are associated with frailty due to loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia ), as well as associations with long term conditions and certain medicines, cognitive deficit and delirium. However, there are also environmental associations with falls, including physical hazards in the home and outside, and adverse weather conditions such as snow and ice.

Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It’s a fairly common condition that affects around three million people in the UK. There are an estimated 500,000 frailty fractures in the UK every year according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Osteoporosis can also be made worse by smoking. Treatment for osteoporosis is based on treating and preventing fractures and using medication to strengthen bones. Taking regular exercise, healthy eating including foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, giving up smoking and reducing alcohol intake can help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. Anyone can have a fall, but older people are more vulnerable than others. This is mainly because long-term health conditions increase the chances of a fall. Falls are a common but often overlooked cause of injury, and sometimes death. The World Health Organisation state approximately 30% of people over 65 fall each year, and for those over 75 the rates are higher. Between 20% and 30% of those who fall suffer injuries that reduce mobility and independence and increase the risk of premature death. Fall rates among institution residents are much higher than among community-dwellers. Most falls do not result in serious injury, but there is a risk of problems such as broken bones. Falls can also have an adverse psychological impact on elderly people (losing confidence, becoming withdrawn, losing independence, etc). With the ageing population, it is predicted that the number of people in England aged 65+ years admitted to hospital as a result of a fall will increase. Hip fractures can be very serious in older people. Mortality is high and cost of care can be high. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence state that about 10% of people with a hip fracture die within one month, and about one third within 12 months. However, fewer than half of deaths are attributable to the fracture. Over 70,000 hip fractures occur in the UK each year. The annual cost for all hip fractures in the UK, including medical and social care, is about £2 billion.

The diagnosed prevalence of osteoporosis can be examined from data collected as part of the Quality and Outcomes Framework within primary care. Quality of care indicators are also included, and it means that high percentage of the patients diagnosed with osteoporosis have annual reviews which gives medical staff the opportunity to provide information and encourage their patients to improve their lifestyle behaviours to improve their health, and lower their risk of morbidity and mortality from their condition. Local analysis of the QOF data has been completed with prevalence calculated for each GP practice and Primary Care Network group.

The Hull Picture

Ageing Population

Population projections are normally released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) every two years, but there is a delay following the 2021 Census. The latest population projections at local authority level are based on the mid-year population estimate for 2018. ONS ‘back-date’ their recent population estimates of the resident population once more accurate Census data becomes available. Their revised estimates as well as the mid-year 2022 resident population estimates were published on the 23 November 2023 at local authority level, and subsequently at lower geographical levels (for example, wards). These releases have delayed the release of population projections. The national population projections were released on the 30 January 2024, but the population projections for local authorities and at other subnational levels are not due to be released until May 2025.

Based on the latest mid-year 2018 population projections, by 2043, it is projected that around one in every five Hull residents will be aged 65 or over (18.6%). This equates to 9,746 additional older people in the 25 years between 2018 and 2043.

The population aged 65+ years in Hull, from 2018, is projected to increase by:

  • 14.2% to 2028 (from 38,997 in 2018 to 44,535 in 2028)
  • 25.0% to 2043 (from 38,997 in 2018 to 48,743 in 2043)

For Hull, the number of people aged over 75 years is projected to increase 54.9%, by 2043. A similar increase is also expected in the number of people over the age of 85 years of age, projected to increase 52.3% by 2043.

This 25.0% increase in the percentage of people aged 65+ years, whilst the highest age banding increase within Hull, still falls behind that of the expected England increase (44.7%).

Further information can be found within Population Projections within Population.

Frailty

The electronic frailty index (eFI) uses routine health data to automatically calculate a score which can identify whether a person is likely to be fit or living with mild, moderate or severe frailty.

In 2024, there were over 19,300 registered patients with moderate or severe frailty (4,975 at risk of severe frailty and 14,356 at risk of moderate frailty). In 2018, it was estimated that there were 12,800 patients with moderate (9,672) or severe (3,142) frailty so there has been a considerable increase in the last six years. This represents an increase of just over 50% (58% increase in moderate frailty and 48% increase in severe frailty). It is possible that part of the increase could be due to better recording of the components of the data which makes up the electronic frailty index.

Diagnosed Prevalence of Osteoporosis

The Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips presents the prevalence of patients aged 50+ years registered with Hull GPs who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. There are 539 such patients for 2023/24 for Hull (03F) which represents 0.5% of the patient population aged 50+ years and this is among the lowest prevalence of the sub Integrated Care Board areas within Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, and half the rate of England.

In 2014/15, the prevalence in Hull was the same as for England and the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, but whilst Hull’s rate has increased between 2014/15 and 2018/19, there has been very little change since then, and the prevalence in Hull at 0.5% for 2023/24 is the same as it was prior to the pandemic in 2019/20. The increases across both England and the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board area have been at a faster rate including greater increases between 2021/22 and 2023/24.

From the local analysis of the Quality and Outcomes Framework data, the association between the diagnosed osteoporosis across the 28 practices in Hull for 2023/24 and the average age of the practice patients and the average deprivation score of practice patients (using the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2019). It was found that there was no statistically significant associations for either age or deprivation. So practices with an older patient population or who had more patients living in more deprived areas of Hull had no significant difference in their disease prevalence. Further analysis including the diagnosed prevalence of osteoporosis for each practice is available within the file within Local Analysis of Quality and Outcomes Framework Data.

Emergency Admissions Due to Falls Among Those Aged 65+ Years

Fingertips also presents information on the emergency admission rate due to falls and for hip fractures among people aged 65+ years. The rates are directly age standardised admission rates and are presented as the number of admissions per 100,000 population in the standard population which is the European Standard Population.

In 2023/24, the emergency hospital admission rate due to falls in Hull was comparable to rates in England among those aged 65+ years.

Among all those aged 65+ years, the age-standardised emergency hospital admission rats due to falls were statistically significantly higher in Hull compared to England between 2010/11 and 2017/18 with rates increasing from 2,408 to 2,906 admissions per 100,000 population. The rates decreased between 2017/18 and 2019/20 to 2,110 admissions per 100,000 population. Rates fell for 2020/21 which is likely associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and whilst rates have increased from the low in 2020/21, the rate in 2023/24 is below pre-pandemic levels.

The emergency hospital admission rats due to falls in Hull has been comparable or statistically significantly lower than England in the last six year. In the eight years prior to that the rate in Hull has been statistically significantly higher than England.

During the year 2023/24, there were 780 emergency hospital admissions due to falls among Hull residents aged 65+ years.

Among those aged 65-79 years, Hull had a relatively consistent admission rate of around 1,300 admissions per 100,000 population between 2010/11 and 2017/18, but the rate fell significantly to 1,022 admissions per 100,000 population for 2018/19. The rate has remained around 1,000 admissions per 100,00 population since then (although did decrease lower for 2020/21 due to the pandemic).

The emergency hospital admission rats due to falls in Hull has been comparable or statistically significantly lower than England in the last six year. In the eight years prior to that the rate in Hull has been statistically significantly higher than England.

Of the 780 emergency admissions for falls among those aged 65+ years during 2023/24, 315 occurred to people aged 65-79 years representing 40% of such admissions.

Among those aged 80+ years, the rates were consistently and statistically significantly higher than England between 2010/11 and 2015/16 at its peak in 2013/14 being 36% higher than England (7,495 versus 5,498 admissions per 100,000 population). Since the peak of 2013/14, the admission rate among those aged 80+ years in Hull has consistently decreased. The rate was slightly higher than England for both 2016/17 and 2017/18 but not statistically significantly higher, but between 2018/19 and 2022/23, the admission ate in Hull has been lower than England including being statistically significantly lower for four of the last five years. The latest rate in 2023/24 is lower than pre-pandemic levels in 2019/20.

Of the 780 emergency admissions for falls among those aged 65+ years during 2023/24, 465 occurred to people aged 80+ years representing 60% of such admissions.

Emergency Admissions For Hip Fractures Among Those Aged 65+ Years

Whilst the rate of emergency admissions due to falls in Hull is comparable to England, the rate of emergency admissions for hip fractures among people aged 65+ years in Hull is higher than England. The rates are again age-standardised to the European Standard Population and represents the number of admissions per 100,000 population in this standard population.

In 2023/24, the emergency admission rate for hip fractures was 20% higher than England among all people aged 65+ years, and 39% and 12% higher for people aged 65-79 years and 80+ years respectively.

The emergency admission rate for hip fractures for Hull residents aged 65+ years is statistically significantly higher than England for 2023/24.

There has been some year-on-year variation in the emergency admissions rate for hip fractures in Hull among people aged 65 years with the rate ranging from 607 to 784 admissions per 100,000 population. Since the peak of 784 admissions per 100,000 population in 2017/18, the rate has decreased although the decrease in 2019/20 and 2020/21 could be partly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, with fewer people leaving the house and therefore at risk of falls, although the majority of the year 2019/20 will be unaffected as the lockdowns only commenced at the end of March 2020 which will only have influenced a couple of weeks in March. Whilst the rate increased between 2020/21 and 2021/22, the rate has subsequently decreased to 659 admissions per 100,000 population.

During the latest year 2023/24, there were 265 emergency admissions for hip fractures in Hull among people aged 65 years.

Number of People Predicted to have a Fall in the Future

The Projecting Older People Population Information Service (POPPI) provide current estimates and future projections at local authority level of the number of people aged 65+ years who are predicted to have a fall (within a one year period).

They use estimates for the percentages predicted to have a fall for different age groups for men and women separately from the Health Survey for England 2005, and apply those percentages to Hull’s population. POPPI states that more recent research from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing had similar age gender specific estimates for the percentages predicted to have a fall. Their estimates do not take into account other factors such as deprivation.

It is estimated in 2023, that more than 10,500 people in Hull aged 65+ year will have a fall (over a one year period), and with the ageing population this is anticipated to increase to over 13,000 by 2040.

Estimated number of people in Hull predicted to have a fall from POPPI

POPPI also give the modelled estimated number of people who are predicted to have be admitted to hospital as a result of a fall. The estimates are derived from hospital data for 2016/17.

It is estimated in 2023, that more than 1,200 people in Hull aged 65+ year will be admitted to hospital as a result of having had a fall, and with the ageing population this is anticipated to increase to over 1,600 by 2040.

In the year 2022/23, there were 770 emergency hospital admissions due to falls among those aged 65+ years considerably lower than the 1,225 estimated for 2023. The reason for the difference is not clear. There could be a difference in the definition in relation to falls or the emergency status, although it is not clear how the definition could differ as falls are clearly coded under the International Classification of Diseases used to code the reason for hospital admissions. It is relatively unlikely that a person will be admitted through non-emergency route from a fall. It is possible though that the estimate from POPPI takes into account admissions due to falls that occur because of a fall but that are not coded within the hospital admission as a fall.

The mortality rate from accidental falls has been gradually increasing in Hull although the rate has also been increasing for England, and the rate in Hull has generally been lower than England over the last 20 or so years for both males and females. However, whilst there was a decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate in Hull has increased sharply since then and for the first time in a decade or so, the rate in Hull is higher than England.

It is possible that the increase could be due to the ageing population, but it is also possible that recording has improved with more deaths recorded as having resulted from an accidental fall.

Over the three year period 2021 to 2023, there have been around 32 deaths on average registered each year from accidental falls among Hull residents.

Strategic Need and Service Provision

It is important that people who are frail or at risk of becoming frail have their medications reviewed and support is given to reduce the risk of becoming frail or reducing the severity of the frailty. When designing service, this ideally means shifting the focus of delivery to early help and prevention, delivering responsive integrated out of hospital care, and preventing or reducing the demand for acute and social care services.

Exercise and physical activity can improve strength and balance, and reduce the likelihood of falls. Among those at risk of a fall, risk can be reduced by removing hazards from the home, and having regular sight tests and hearing tests. Steps could include using walking sticks and other walking aids, using non-slip mats in the bathroom, mopping up spills to avoid wet floors, getting help lifting and moving items, removing clutter from the home, ensuring the home is properly lit, etc. People at risk of a fall can request a home hazard assessment. Age UK and the Royal Voluntary Service also offer advice about adapting the home so older people can remain independent and safe in their own home. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommend a co-ordinated programme of care for people who have fractured a hip.

Day-to-day behaviour changed for virtually everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that changes in behaviour could have affected the number of falls. It is likely that older people did not go out of their houses as much, and whilst one might anticipate that falls could have reduced, falls in the home are more common than falls outside the home probably because more time is spend within the home and people at risk of falling are probably more cautious about the risk of falling when they are outside the home. The number of referrals have increased in the local Falls Service and the complexity of patients having falls has amplified possibly as they have not had as many face-to-face GP reviews or hospital appointments due to the pandemic.

The Hull Falls Intervention Response Safety Team (Hull FIRST) are involved in safe and well checks after a fall. They work together with local public sector partners and have created a NHS Alliance to introduced a pioneering scheme in Hull which provides a rapid 24/7 response to elderly or vulnerable patients in Hull who have fallen and need non-emergency medical support. Calls to NHS 111 or 999 are triaged by trained staff at Yorkshire Ambulance Service, where clinically appropriate, the patient is referred to the Hull FIRST Service. The service is made up of professionals with a range of skills and includes officers from Humberside Fire and Rescue Service to help move or offer physical support to the patient, and ambulance staff and City Health Care Partnership (CHCP) emergency care practitioners to provide non-emergency medical care. The team aims to reach the patient within one hour. The Humber Foundation Trust Falls Prevention Team follow up the initial response with one to one support to resolve any instant problems which may have caused the fall. The team also offer fragility fracture risk assessments in the home, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and fracture liaison nurses. Any required safety equipment is provided through the joint Hull City Council and Hull CCG (and its successor) Better Care in Hull programme.
