How to decide intervention thresholds based on FRAX in central south Chinese postmenopausal women

Zhimin Zhang et al. Endocrine. 2014 Mar.

Abstract

The FRAX tool has been used to determine possible thresholds for therapeutic intervention; however, there are no FRAX-based intervention thresholds available for China, we proposed that the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture of about 4.0 and 1.3%, respectively, may be acceptable intervention thresholds for central south Chinese postmenopausal women.
