Detailed explanation-1: -FRAX is a fracture risk assessment tool for estimating the individualized 10-year probability of hip and major osteoporotic fracture (hip, clinical spine, distal forearm or proximal humerus) [3. Assessment of osteoporosis at the primary health-care level.

Detailed explanation-2: -The FRAX scores were assigned based on Canadian guidelines (18): high risk (≥20% for major FFs or ≥ 3% for hip FFs); moderate risk (10%–20% for major FFs and < 3% for hip FFs); and low risk (<10% for major FFs and < 3% for hip FFs).

Detailed explanation-3: -Your FRAX® score estimates your chance of breaking a hip as well as your combined chance of breaking a hip or other major bones over the next ten years. Other major bones include the spine, hip, forearm and shoulder.
