FRAX Prediction of Hip Fracture among 4097 Women Without a History of Prior Fracture

Normal/LBM (n=3441) Osteoporotic (n=656) p-value
Models if no Prior Fracture History: AUC (95% CI) AUC (95% CI)
 Hip Fracture n 105 76
Age <=75
  FRAX with BMD 0.75 (0.69, 0.80) 0.60 (0.51, 0.70) 0.01
  FRAX without BMD 0.62 (0.56, 0.69) 0.60 (0.51, 0.70) 0.75
  Age+BMD 0.73 (0.68, 0.79) 0.59 (0.50, 0.69) 0.01

N=4097 women without a prior history of fracture. Although the age distribution for the whole cohort was approximately evenly split for age <=75 vs. age >75, for women without a history of fracture there were 3,427 women age <75 and 670 women who were age >75 at baseline. All BMD models use femoral neck BMD.
