The incidence of hip fractures in Greenland was 6.55 per 1,000 inhabitants in 2020 compared to 5.65 per 1,000 inhabitants in Denmark (NS). In conclusion, the prevalence of treated osteoporosis in Greenland was less than one in four of that of Denmark. The incidence of hip fractures was similar in Greenland than in Denmark.
