Aim: To investigate risk factors of fragility fractures among older people. Data Sources: The electronic databases employed were PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar from 2016 to December 2021. Review Method: The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-sectional study. Two independent reviewers screened total 147 articles. Results: Twelve studies were finally included in this review that consisted of 7 cross sectional, 2 longitudinal and 3 cohort studies. Six studies were of good quality and six were fair. Studies that were of good quality showed that physical performance, muscle strength, and falls due to balance impairment were associated with an increased of fragility fractures. While the results for sarcopenia status were uncertain. Conclusion: This review suggests that physical functional related factors were main contributors to the risk of fragility fracture among older people. Lack of research in this area warrants more studies to be carried out in the future.
