Fracture risk scores generated from population-based administrative healthcare data
showed comparable or better discrimination than the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) …

FRAX is a tool that identifies individuals with high fracture risk who will benefit from
pharmacological treatment of osteoporosis. However, a majority of fractures among elderly …

Background To evaluate whether the common risk factors and risk scores (FRAX, QFracture,
and Garvan) can predict hip fracture in the oldest old (defined as people aged 80 and older) …

The present study estimated the 10-year probability using the Japanese version of WHO
fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX™) in order to determine fracture probabilities that …

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine and quantify some determinants
associated to low bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly men. This study showed that …

We evaluated the predictive ability of FRAX® in a cohort of 815 Japanese women. The
observed 10-year fracture rate did not differ significantly from that predicted by FRAX®. The …

We examined among women aged≥ 40 years the performance of the Fracture Risk
Assessment Tool (FRAX) and FRAX‐based osteoporosis treatment thresholds under the US …

There was no significant difference between the areas under receiver operating
characteristics (AUROCs) and diagnostic indexes (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive …

Osteoporosis-related fractures (low-trauma or fragility fractures) cause substantial disability,
health care costs, and mortality among postmenopausal women and older men …

The FRAXtr algorithm uses clinical risk factors (CRF) and bone mineral density (BMD) to
predict fracture risk but does not include falls history in the calculation. Using results from the …
