People over 75 generally have a greater likelihood to break their hip because their bones are thinning and weakening with age, due to osteoperosis. So, any kind of fall on the hip area has a great chance of damage.

People over the age of 75 commonly break their hip due to age-related factors such as weakening bones (osteoporosis) and reduced muscle strength. Falls also become more common as people age, making them more vulnerable to hip fractures. Additionally, underlying health conditions and decreased balance may contribute to an increased risk of hip fractures in this age group.
