Table 4:

Early menopause and duration of menopause as predictors of FRAX score

Variable	Multivariate logistic regression analysis: Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval)
	MOF FRAX+BMD (high risk=1, low risk=0)	HIP FRAX+BMD (high risk=1, low risk=0)
Age of menopause onset
Early menopause	1.023 (0.497–2.105)	1.652 (1.138 – 2.399)**
Typical menopause	reference	reference
Menopause duration, years (continuous)	1.054 (1.015–1.095)**	1.098 (1.076 – 1.119)*

^*P<0.05;

^**P<0.01; Reference category=0.

Note: Independent variables were used in the regression model: Age of menopause onset and Menopause duration. Other research variables (age, BMI, previous fracture, parent fractured hip, current smoking, glucocorticoids, rheumatoid arthritis, secondary osteoporosis, femoral neck BMD) were used to calculate FRAX values, and calculating their predictive value is not justified
