FRAX Without BMD Osteoporosis Intervention Threshold

Calculate 10-year fracture probability using FRAX without BMD. NOF/NOGG intervention threshold: 10-year hip fracture risk of 3% or more or major osteoporotic fracture risk of 20% or more (US thresholds) warrants pharmacological treatment consideration.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate 10-year fracture probability using FRAX without BMD. NOF/NOGG intervention threshold: 10-year hip fracture risk of 3% or more or major osteoporotic fracture risk of 20% or more (US thresholds) warrants pharmacological treatment consideration

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • FRAX without BMD — The frax without bmd recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the frax fracture risk score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the FRAX without BMD for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate 10-year fracture probability using FRAX without BMD. NOF/NOGG intervention threshold: 10-year hip fracture risk of 3% or more or major osteoporotic fracture risk of 20% or more (US thresholds) warrants pharmacological treatment consideration. Use the frax fracture risk score result to inform your calculation.
