Abstract
This was a cross-sectional prospective study conducted to investigate the incidence and their interrelationship between major osteoporotic fracture risk (MOFR), hip fracture risk (HFR) and bone mineral density (BMD) in Indian population. One hundred and eighty-seven healthy females and 176 males aged 50-year or more after obtaining written informed consent were selected as osteoporotic using WHO fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) India tool to measure the MOFR and HFR probability. Age, MOFR and HFR had an independent contribution to BMD in both women and men. Considering FRAX risk scores without BMD would be beneficial in the assessment of low bone density in the elderly population.
