Fragility fractures associated with osteoporosis can have a major impact on a person's "activities of daily living" (ADL) and life span. Therefore, osteoporosis and its complications must be addressed by early screening and prompt intervention. A Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) has been developed by the WHO. FRAX allows the calculation/estimation of absolute fracture risk over a 10-year period. The FRAX can be completed using a free application form, accessible online. The relationship between FRAX and the young adult mean (YAM) was investigated in order to calculate the cut-off value of FRAX for each age group. FRAX can be used by both physicians and other healthcare professionals to pre-screen patients for more detailed subsequent work-ups. Using FRAX in clinical practice has proven to be simple, inexpensive and useful.
