Work out osteoporosis risk (frax) instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Compares FRAX ten-year fracture probabilities with the published US intervention thresholds of 20 percent for major osteoporotic fracture and 3 percent for hip fracture.
Intervention thresholds
Treatment is generally considered when the 10-year major osteoporotic fracture probability is 20% or more, or hip fracture probability is 3% or more
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
FRAX uses country-specific fitted models that are not published as an open equation, so its output is entered instead.
No. The UK NOGG approach uses an age-dependent threshold rather than fixed percentages.
