Please answer the questions below to calculate the ten year probability of fracture with BMD.
The FRAX ® tool has been developed to evaluate fracture risk. It is based on individualised models that integrate the risks associated with clinical risk factors as well as bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck.
FRAXplus® contains the most up-to-date FRAX calculators, freely available. Additional features include access to an individualised FRAX account for storage of FRAX calculations and a beta-version, fee-based access to modifications of the FRAX probability (e.g. recency of fracture or falls in the previous year).
The FRAX ® tool has been developed to evaluate fracture risk of patients. It is based on individual patient models that integrate the risks associated with clinical risk factors as well as bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck.
Your FRAX score is your risk of having an osteoporosis-related fracture in the next 10 years. Find out what it means, how it’s calculated, and more.
FRAX. In addition to femoral neck (hip) BMD, age, gender, fracture history and steroid use, FRAX also takes into account other clinical risk factors to calculate the absolute 10-year risk of a hip fracture or other major osteoporotic fracture (spine, forearm, upper arm).
The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool, or FRAX, is a free online tool that estimates your risk of having a hip or other major fracture in the next 10 years, especially if you have osteoporosis.
The FRAX® tool, an osteoporosis risk assessment test, uses information about your bone density and other risk factors for breaking a bone to estimate your 10-year fracture risk. Your FRAX® score estimates your chance of breaking a hip as well as your combined chance of breaking a hip or other major bones over the next ten years.
Osteoporosis is a common disease that is characterized by low bone mass with microarchitectural disruption and skeletal fragility, resulting in an increased risk of fracture, particularly at the spine, hip, wrist, humerus, and pelvis [1].
FRAX Score Interpretation and Tutorial. The FRAX calculator estimates your risk of a fracture based on a number of variables. The score results are used by clinicians to prescribe an osteoporosis treatment plan. This guide explains the FRAX score and how to use the FRAX Calculator.
