This cross-sectional study recruited 264 postmenopausal women aged ≥50 years in September 2017. Basic information, general condition, history of illness, family history, and clinical risk factors were evaluated via a questionnaire. All subjects underwent a bone mineral density examination of the femur and lumbar spine and thoracolumbar spinal X-ray. The 10-year major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF) risks were calculated using FRAXs from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Asia-America. All data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio were used to compare the effectiveness of each FRAX.
We evaluated fracture risk assessment tools (FRAXs) from different regions in Chinese postmenopausal women.
