Fracture risk assessment

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

Height, weight, major osteoporotic risk, hip fracture risk and 10-year probability risk of osteoporotic fracture

Laboratory

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
