An error appeared in the first of four reports published in the
Recommendations and Reports titled "CDC Recommendations Regarding Selected Conditions
Affecting Women's Health." On page 3 of the report "Reducing Falls and Resulting Hip
Fractures Among Older Women," the last sentence of the first paragraph gave an incorrect
rate. The sentence should read: "... rates for women
aged >65 years increased 40%."
