Youth is a risk factor for stress fracture. A study of 783 infantry recruits

Abstract

We report a prospective study of 783 male Israeli recruits aged from 17 to 26 years. The risk of stress fracture was inversely proportional to age on both univariate and multivariate analysis. Each year of increase of age above 17 years reduced the risk of stress fracture by 28%.
