Table 3.
Possible FRAX-based intervention thresholds in examples of high fracture risk countries if using the same approach as NOGG in the UK (ranked in descending order of hip fracture probability). Values represent FRAX 10-year probabilities of major osteoporotic (MOF) and hip fractures in women at the age of 70 years with a history of prior fracture and no other risk factors (BMI set to 25 kg/m2)
| Country | Putative MOF probability threshold (%) | Putative hip probability threshold (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Denmark | 28 | 8.8 |
| Sweden | 25 | 8.7 |
| Norway | 22 | 7.4 |
| Singapore (Chinese) | 19 | 6.0 |
| USA (Caucasian) | 21 | 5.0 |
| UK | 20 | 4.8 |
| Canada | 19 | 4.4 |
| Japan | 18 | 3.9 |
