Abstract

BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is a disease which makes bones weak and fragile. This greatly increases the risk of breaking a bone Even after a minor fall or bump. The disease has no obvious symptoms, so many people don’t know they have osteoporosis until they suffer a fracture. Fractures can be life-altering, causing pain, disability and loss ofindependence. That’s why it’s important to prevent osteoporosis.OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture risk predictions based on calculations prepared with bone mineral density (BMD) values using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®). PATIENTS AND METHOD:This descriptive, cross-sectional study included male and female individual aged 40–90 years. Osteoporosis patients who were not getting any treatment. A questionnaire was collected from participants face-to-face to obtain sociodemographic characteristics, fracture history medical history; and. Fracture risk was calculated with FRAX® by two value MOR and HFR.RESULTS:The study included 250(214female and 36 male) patients. Total means T-score, HFR, MOR were -1.8944, 2.506,and 5.993 respectively. There was a significant association of fracture risk with age and BMI. Mean of MORand HFR was more in osteoporotic group. As age increases major fracture and hip fracture increase. Where T-score is values toward normal fracture risk decreases. We determined the cutoff value of FRAX score for hipfracture to predict future fracture which was 2.2% with 98% sensitivity and 84% specificity.CONCLUSION:FRAX hip fracture is useful for prediction 10 years fracture probability in 40 -90year individual.
