The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) alone is widely used to evaluate an individual’s 10-year probability of developing osteoporotic fractures. This tool considers various clinical risk factors and suggests who may benefit from a DEXA scan or even treatment.
Questionnaire
This health category includes questionnaire data on smoking and alcohol intake.
Measurements
Mandatory: Height, weight, major osteoporotic risk, hip fracture risk, and 10-year probability risk of osteoporotic fracture.
Non-mandatory: N/A
Laboratory
Mandatory: N/A
Non-mandatory: N/A
Interpretations
Flag assignment and report content are generated to reflect the relevant combinations of data inputs from questionnaire responses and physical measurements.
🟢 Green flag: Indicates a low risk of major osteoporotic fracture.
🟡 Amber flag: Indicates an intermediate low risk of major osteoporotic fracture.
🔴 Red flag: Indicates a high or very high risk of major osteoporotic fracture.
