Outline of Final Research Achievements |
FRAX was developed by WHO for the evaluation of fracture risk of patients based on individual patient model after integrating the risks associated with clinical risk factors. This study was to compare the fracture probabilities calculated by FRAX with actual fracture rates in the community. The 10-year provability of fracture calculated by FRAX and actual fracture rate were 4.31% and 4.12% for women aged 50-59 years old (N = 95), 8.23% and14.26 % for women aged 60-69 years old (N = 104), and 15.20% and 17.73% for women aged >70 years (N = 41), respectively. Fracture probability calculated from FRAX may be underestimated. Therefore, other risk factor (e.g. marker of bone metabolism) or bone density should be assessed when we use FRAX as a tool of osteoporotic screening.
