FRAX –
The Brand New WHO Tool for
diagnosing Osteoporosis
Prof John Kanis
www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX
Risk factor for osteoporotic fx
Family history Prior fx history Tobacco smoking Alcohol consumption for 3 units or more Oral Glucocorticoid use Rheumatoid arthritis Diseases : DM, hyperthyroidism, etc
Dual X ray densitometryDual X ray densitometry
Methodology of FRAX
Poisson Regression
Hazard functions
exp (β0+ β1-x1+…+ βk – Xk)
The probability of a hip fx event
t v
P = ∫h (v) exp ( - ∫g (u) du ) dv. 0 0
Methodology of FRAXGlobal cohort data from 9 cohort studies

WHO FRAX MODELInput Sex Nationality Age No. of CRF’s Femoral Neck BMD
Outcome 10 year probability of Osteoporotic fx 10 year probability of hip fx
Ten year probability of osteoporotic fractures in women aged 65 years, BMD T-score = -2.5

Why is FRAX a breakthrough?
Allows for selecting patients for treatment in a cost-effective manner on a national scale
Quantify fracture risk for communication between doctors and patient
Conclusions
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in Asia
Cost-effective means of fracture prevention are required
Evidence-based research are vital for Asia
