The risk of a child breaking a bone can depend upon their ethnicity and where they live in the UK, according to a new study.
An analysis of the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink database by researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit, University of Southampton, found that rates of broken bones were higher in white children (150 per 10,000 children per year) compared to those amongst South Asian children (81 fractures per 10,000 children per year) and black children (64 fractures per 10,000 children per year).
