Fracture Risk Assessment

Fracture Risk Assessment is a systematic approach to evaluate an individual's likelihood of experiencing bone fractures, particularly in older adults or those with certain health conditions. It typically involves analyzing various factors, such as age, gender, medical history, lifestyle, and bone density measurements. Based on this assessment, healthcare professionals can determine a person's risk level and recommend preventive measures, such as lifestyle changes or medications, to strengthen bones and reduce the likelihood of fractures, ultimately promoting better bone health and overall well-being.
