This was a retrospective study in which individuals who underwent BMD measurement and FRAX scoring at Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre, Chennai during the time period July 2016 to December 2017 were included. Men and women >50 years of age with osteopenia and osteoporosis according to the WHO definition at one or more site were included in this study. Those who have already received treatment with the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved drugs for osteoporosis were excluded. Height and weight were measured using standard medical scales. Femoral neck BMD and T-score were obtained from the DXA scanner. DXA was done using the same machine for all the subjects (GE Lunar Prodigy Advance enCORE™ Version 13.60). FRAX/BMD and FRAX prediction values were calculated using the FRAX India tool (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/FRAX/tool.aspx). Subjects were separated into two groups, Group A and B. Subjects who received identical treatment recommendation from FRAX calculation with and without BMD were categorized into Group A. Those who received a different treatment recommendation with and without BMD were included in Group B. Identical treatment recommendation is defined as a 10-year probability of MOF <20% and hip fracture <3% with or without BMD as well as MOF >20% and hip fracture >3% with or without BMD.
