Quality of life assessment was conducted using Short Form Health Survey \(SF\-36\) and International Osteoporosis Foundation Quality of Life Questionnaire \(IOF QLQ\). Results\: We enrolled 1308 consecutive patients to the first part of the study. The average age of the entire cohort was 72.5 ± 12 years. The study group consisted of 256 men \(19.6%\) with mean age 66 ± 12 y\/o and 1052 women \(80.4%\) with mean age 74 ± 12 y\/o. Men were statistically younger at the time of the fracture than women \(p<0.0001\). After 1\-year of follow up the overall study group mortality ratio was 4.5%, comparing between genders\: 2.2 \- fold higher in men. In long\-term survival analysis, excess men mortality remained significant. Factors associated with higher mortality at any point of the study were\: age \(HR\: 1.08, 95%CI\: 1.07–1.10, p<0.000001\), male sex \(HR\: 1.92, 95%CI\: 1.34\-2.77\; p<0.001\), AO type A \(HR\: 1.64 95%CI 1.19\-2.25, p<0.01\) and Frykman type I \(HR\: 2.12 95%CI\: 1.36\-3.29, p<0.001\). To the second part of the study we randomly enrolled 207 patients with distal radius fractures\: 101 treated operatively, 106 treated nonoperatively. Mean age of entire cohort was 64 ± 17.9 years. Women comprised of 150 \(72."]
