Communication of fracture risk and treatment benefit in terms of ‘bone health age’ using FRAX or Qfracture

Abrahamsen Bo , Rubin Katrine Hass , Hansen Carrinna , Brixen Kim

Introduction: Communication of absolute and relative risks is challenging despite the development of tools to quickly derive absolute fracture risk estimates from risk factors with or without BMD. We speculated that back-transformation of risks to a risk age could make for a clearer message and at the same time increase agreement between risk algorithms.Results: The algorithms differed less in estimated bone health age than in percent risk. A 60 years ol...
