Fracture experience among participants from the FROCAT study: what thresholding is appropriate using the FRAX tool?

Highlights • Previously, a Spanish FRAX risk thresholds of risk had been proposed from FRIDEX cohort. • We display the suggested algorithm in the FROCAT, a population based cohort. • The main fracture risk categories (low, intermediate, high) show concordance. • The frequencies of fragility fracture...

Summary:Highlights • Previously, a Spanish FRAX risk thresholds of risk had been proposed from FRIDEX cohort. • We display the suggested algorithm in the FROCAT, a population based cohort. • The main fracture risk categories (low, intermediate, high) show concordance. • The frequencies of fragility fractures over 10-year period are similar in FRIDEX and FROCAT cohorts.
