Frequency and associated factors of bone fractures in Russians: survey results of the Ural Eye and Medical Study

This dataset consists of a single <b>.sav</b> SPSS data file presenting the anonymised survey results of the Ural Eye and Medical Study into the frequency and associated factors of bone fractures in Russians.<br>Data can be accessed via the IBM software program SPSS: Statistical Package for Social Science, or via open-source <b>.sav </b>viewers.<br>The data present answers to survey questions into bone fracture types suffered, diet, behaviour (such as smoking and alcohol consumption), daily physical activity, depression and suicidal ideas, and medical history including known diagnosis and therapy of major diseases such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases. Alongside survey questions, anthropometry measures such as arterial and systolic blood pressure, blood sample measures (e.g. concentrations of glucose, blood lipids, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hemoglobin), blood glucose concentration and hearing loss data were obtained through direct testing. For more detailed explanation of the parameters and their response labels please see the Variables view in the data file.<br>Standardised interviews were performed by trained social workers, including 5,397 eligible participants from the urban region of Kirovskii of the city of Ufa in Russia, and in villages of the rural region of the Karmaskalinsky District within a distance of 65 km from Ufa. According to the Declaration of Helsinki, the Ethics Committee of the Academic Council of the Ufa Eye Research Institute approved the study and all participants gave informed written consent. Inclusion criterion for the participation in the study was living in the study region (population ~1.1 million) and having an age of 40+ years. There were no exclusion criteria. The related study seeks to address the gap in recorded frequency of bone fractures in Russia, and the related burden of disease in terms of age-standardised DALY (disability-adjusted life years) rates.<br><i>Note that parameters of this datafile that could lead to identification of research participants have been removed (for example gender, age, marital status, religion); thus the number of variables is fewer than reported in the related publication.</i>
