HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; FRAX: fracture risk assessment tool; FI: frailty index.

a

Hip, upper arm or shoulder, spine, or wrist.

b

There were 108 incident major osteoporotic fracture reported.

c

There were 41 incident major osteoporotic fracture reported.

d

Adjusted for age.

e

Low-risk group taken as reference group; the cut-points were 10% and 20% for major osteoporotic fracture, while the cut-point was 3% for hip fracture; comparisons of high-risk versus low-risk and medium-risk versus low-risk group were within the same follow-up duration strata.

f

Low-risk group taken as reference group; the cut-points were 0.20 and 0.35 for major osteoporotic fracture, while the cut-point was 0.22 for hip fracture; comparisons of high-risk versus low-risk and medium-risk versus low-risk group were within the same follow-up duration strata.
