Between 1998 and 2018, the number of hospitalizations for MOF increased significantly by a larger extent than expected based on the ageing of the Swiss population alone. This increase was solely driven by an increased incidence of MOF other than hip fractures as incident hip fractures decreased over time in both sexes, more so in women than in men.
