Abstract (2. Language):
The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of osteoporosis in relation to assess the 10-year
probability percentage of Major Osteoporotic Fracture Risk and to assess the10-year probability percentage of Hip
Fracture Risk using FRAX country specific algorithm with bone mineral density. Method: 74 older osteoporotic
postmenopausal females ranging the age between 40 to 90 years were randomly selected as the subject of the study.
Bone mineral density T-score were obtained by using Ultrasound Bone Densitometry (Omnisense) at distal radius
by the experts and technicians. WHO Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) INDIA was used to assess the fracture
risk probability. FRAX probability calculated with distal radius Bone mineral density was obtained by reference
method. Results: There were significant relationship between Body mass index and Bone mineral density. The
correlation was highly significant between Bone mineral density and Major Osteoporotic Fracture Risk as well as
Bone mineral density and Hip Fracture Risk. Conclusion: The results provide a framework which enhances the
assessment of fracture risk in women in combination with Bone mineral density. Fracture risk feedback based on
Bone mineral density could potentially make an important contribution to osteoporosis prevention and treatment in
postmenopausal women irrespective of age and BMI.
