- Authors
Watts, Nelson B.; Ettinger, Bruce; LeBoff, Meryl S.
- Abstract
In this article the authors discuss an Internet fracture risk assessment tool for osteoporosis which was developed and released in 2008 by the World health Organization. The authors are critical of limitations that are associated with the tool and uncertainty which surrounds many of the factors that are considered in FRAX. They praise the tool's potential ability to determine fracture risk in older people.
