Data regarding fracture incidence according to fracture site, month, and age group obtained from the large public health insurance claim database in Japan

The National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan includes all health insurance claims submitted in Japan and is considered representative of almost all health claims in Japan. Data regarding fracture incidence, based on the documented diagnoses in the claims and relevant procedure codes, were extracted from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan. This data paper includes fracture incidence according to fracture site, month, and age group for the population in Kanto area (Tokyo and surrounding areas), which consists of approximately 42 million people. These data provide supplementary material to be interpreted for the article “Variation in Fracture Risk by Season and Weather: A Comprehensive Analysis across Age and Fracture Site Using a National Database of Health Insurance Claims in Japan” Hayashi et al., and serve as one of the largest epidemiological datasets regarding seasonal differences in fracture incidence according to fracture site and age group.
