Abstract

Patients with low bone mineral density (BMD) have a high risk of future fractures, and should be actively considered for treatment to reduce their risk. Simple risk assessment questionnaires have been designed to increase awareness of osteoporosis and encourage the appropriate use of BMD measurements. These questionnaires may help target high-risk women for BMD measurements, thereby avoiding the cost of measuring women at low risk. Applying these assessment tools may encourage appropriate use of BMD technology.
