FRAX - Identifying people at high risk of fracture

WHO Fracture Risk Assessment Tool, a new clinical tool for informed treatment decisions

This 16-page report, issued on World Osteoporosis Day 2009, aims to bring understanding of FRAX® to health professionals, policy makers, and interested laypersons. The report is authored by Dr. Eugene McCloskey of the University of Sheffield, a key developer of the calculation tool.

As a freely accessible online clinical tool, FRAX® helps clinicians make informed treatment decisions, based on fracture risk rather than BMD values alone. The tool is available at
