Distributions of the BMD categories between the two groups based on the FRAX calculations with femur BMD T-scores in the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
| Non High-Risk Group of Osteoporotic Fracture |
High-Risk Group of Osteoporotic Fracture |
p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMD T-scores, n (%) | <0.001 * | ||
| Normal | 24 (17.3) | 3 (3.0) | |
| Osteopenia | 73 (52.5) | 43 (43.0) | |
| Osteoporosis | 42 (30.2) | 54 (54.0) |
* p < 0.005, Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test. BMD, bone mineral density; FRAX, fracture risk assessment tool.
