Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX)

The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) is a computer-based tool that helps estimate your risk of breaking a bone in the next 10 years due to osteoporosis. It considers various factors, such as age, gender, weight, height, family history of fractures, and personal health conditions. By entering this information, FRAX calculates your risk score, which can guide healthcare providers in determining if preventive measures, like medication or lifestyle changes, are necessary to reduce your risk of fractures, especially for older adults or those with other risk factors.
