Thresholds presented in percentages (%). aThe threshold is the probability of a MOF for a woman with BMI 30 kg/m2 and a previous fracture and no other clinical risk factors without BMD. bThe lower assessment is the probability of a MOF for a woman with BMI 30 kg/m2 and no clinical risk factors without BMD. cThe upper assessment was set at 1.2 times the intervention threshold [22]
