Authors' objectives:
Osteoporosis is a disorder of the skeletal system characterized by the loss of bonemass, that predisposes individuals to fractures. Fractures for fragility represent, a main public health problem in our context. The aims of this study were to describe the characteristics of a cohort with a bone densitomety indication, and to evaluate the predictive capacity of FRAX® model in such cohort.
Authors' recommendations:
Our results show that the main risk factors for osteoporosis and fracture for fragility are age and the densitometry result. On the other hand the predictive capacity of the FRAX model is unequal according to the age of the patients, but it seems to be advisable to predict the risk of fracture of hip in the 65-year-old minor women and the risk of total fracture in 65-year-old major women.
