“Also interesting was our finding that FRAX without BMD actually overestimates fracture risk, which underscores the importance of DXA [dual energy x-ray absorptiometry] scans in risk-stratifying ...

FRAX® has been incorporated into many national and international guidelines for osteoporosis management. The online tool alone has processed over 9 million calculations. Fractures secondary to ...

These findings reflect the fact that FRAX was constructed to estimate risk from a range of parameters, some of which are not modifiable by osteoporosis treatments (e.g., age, sex, weight and ...

This algorithm illustrates possible decision pathways for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis, based on the absolute risk of fracture (FRAX®) and an assessment strategy permitting the ...

These tools are FRAX®, Study of Osteoporosis Fractures (SOF) and QFracture™. Both the FRAX and SOF models have demonstrated that older people with low bone density and a history of fragility ...
