What is FRAX?
FRAX (Fracture Risk Assessment Tool) is a computer-based algorithm used to estimate an individual's 10-year risk of experiencing a major osteoporotic fracture. This tool takes into account various factors such as age, sex, weight, height, history of fractures, and bone mineral density to calculate the probability of sustaining a fracture. FRAX is widely used by healthcare professionals to help guide decision-making regarding the need for osteoporosis treatment and fracture prevention strategies.
