There is a combined effect of seasonality and hyponatremia on the occurrence of hip fractures among older adults, with hyponatremic patients being at a higher risk of sustaining a hip fracture during winter season than during other seasons. In addition, the association between hyponatremia on admission and mortality rate at latest follow-up among hip fracture patients has been confirmed.
