We evaluated fracture risk assessment tools (FRAXs) from different regions in Chinese postmenopausal women.
This cross-sectional study recruited 264 postmenopausal women aged ≥50 years in September 2017. Basic information, general condition, history of illness, family history, and clinical risk factors were evaluated via a questionnaire. All subjects underwent a bone mineral density examination of the femur and lumbar spine and thoracolumbar spinal X-ray. The 10-year major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF) risks were calculated using FRAXs from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Asia-America. All data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio were used to compare the effectiveness of each FRAX.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
264
The 10-year MOF probability and the 10-year HF probability were calculated using the FRAXs of different regions (mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Asia-America). Subjects were deemed as high-risk for osteoporotic fracture if the 10-year probability of MOF was ≥20% or the 10-year probability of HF was ≥3%.

Osteoporosis fracture
The 10-year MOF probability and the 10-year HF probability were calculated using the FRAXs of different regions (mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Asia-America). Subjects were deemed as high-risk for osteoporotic fracture if the 10-year probability of MOF was ≥20% or the 10-year probability of HF was ≥3%.
