X-RAY DENSITOMETRY AND FRAX MODEL IN PREDICTING THE RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS AND LOW-ENERGY FRACTURES IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN

88 people of 50 years of age and older were put in this cross-sectional study. The main risk factors for osteoporosis and bone fractures were obtained using questionnaires. X-ray absorptiometry of the distal forearm was carried out with the help of Osteometer DTX-200. The FRAX tool was used for calc...

Description
Summary:	88 people of 50 years of age and older were put in this cross-sectional study. The main risk factors for osteoporosis and bone fractures were obtained using questionnaires. X-ray absorptiometry of the distal forearm was carried out with the help of Osteometer DTX-200. The FRAX tool was used for calculation of the 10-year absolute risk of major osteoporotic fractures. In the 50-59 year age group osteoporosis was found only in 30% of women but with increasing age its occurrence increases dramatically approaching 70% in women 70 years of age and older. The higher the age of women, the lower bone mineral density (r = -0.44, p < 0.001).
