Osteoporosis Risk Self-Check

Heuristic, not the WHO FRAX. This tool surfaces clinical risk factors but does not produce a 10-year fracture probability. For the actual FRAX calculation (with country-specific calibration), bring this list to your provider — they have access to the real tool.

About osteoporosis screening. US Preventive Services Task Force recommends bone-density (DEXA) screening for all women 65+, and earlier (around 50-65) for women with risk factors. Men 70+ may also benefit. Diagnosis requires DEXA-measured T-score (≤−2.5 = osteoporosis, −1.0 to −2.5 = osteopenia). Effective treatments exist — bisphosphonates, denosumab, and others substantially reduce fracture risk in people who need them. The point of this tool is to surface the conversation before a fracture forces it.
