Value of the Data •The dataset consisted of comprehensive epidemiological data of fractures across all age groups and fracture sites. •The incidence of fractures was described in a large population of >40 million, based on one of the world's largest health databases. •This is one of the largest datasets describing the seasonal variation of fracture incidence, including >500,000 fracture cases. •The codes and algorithms used to extract data from the database are described in this article for greater transparency and reproducibility. •These data could be used as a benchmark in epidemiological research into fractures, because of the scale and completeness of the sample.
