Comparison of ratios of 10-year 4 fracture probability to 10-year hip fracture probability alone obtained from current FRAX® (available on web site, January 2009)

Country Age, years
50 55 60 65 70 75 80
Estimates from FRAX®a (10-year risk)
US currentb 16 13 11 11 6.2 4.2 3.5
Sweden 11 9.0 6.3 4.8 3.3 2.4 2.1

France 12 9.3 6.6 5.1 3.5 2.5 2.3
Spain 14 10 6.0 4.6 3.5 2.5 2.3
Based on proposed revision to US incidence rates (annual)
US revised 14 12 10 5.9 4.4 2.4 1.9

The table also compares the current US ratios with estimates of ratios that might be expected based on revised annual US incidence rates
