Fracture Risk Score
A fracture risk score estimates future break probability from age, BMD, and risk factors—helping decide lifestyle versus medication with your clinician.
A fracture risk score estimates ten-year probability of major osteoporotic or hip fracture—tools like FRAX combine age, sex, BMD, prior fracture, smoking, glucocorticoids, and some comorbidities. It guides whether lifestyle alone suffices or anti-osteoporosis medication is warranted.
Falls, vision, balance, and home hazards still matter beyond the calculator.
Common questions
-
Does a normal T-score mean zero fracture risk?
No—age, falls, and prior breaks still matter. Risk calculators and clinical judgment integrate more than a single T-score.
