• Few studies have assessed the clinical impact of the number of teeth on the incidence of hip fractures, which is common in older women.
• This present retrospective cohort study, including 190,998 older adults aged ≥75 years, clarified that women with ≤20 teeth were at a significantly higher risk of hip fractures than those with ≥21 teeth.
• In the association between the number of teeth and the incidence of hip fractures, the most predictive method of counting teeth used sound teeth and filled teeth.
• In predicting hip fractures, the number of sound teeth and filled teeth was crucial, while the number of decayed teeth may have a minimal impact.
• Our findings suggest that older women with tooth loss are a potential screening target for the prevention of hip fractures in the general population.
