Probabilistic models including clinical risk factors with or without bone mineral density (BMD) have been developed to estimate the 5- or 10-year absolute fracture risk. We investigated the performance of the FRAX and Garvan tools in a well-characterized population-based cohort of 3560 postmenopausal, volunteer women, aged 60 to 85 years at baseline, included in the Fracture Risk Brussels Epidemiological Enquiry (FRISBEE) cohort, during 5 years of follow-up. Baseline data were used to calculate the estimated 10-year risk of hip and major osteoporotic fractures (MOFs) for each participant using FRAX (Belgium).

- The study looked at how many fractures were not reported by postmenopausal women over about 9 years, finding 992 total fractures but 21.3% of them weren't reported.
- It included 3,560 women aged 60-85, and researchers called them each year to check for fractures they might have missed.
- They found that fractures in certain places, like the spine, were missed more often than in others, showing that people might not know they had a fracture or forget to tell someone.
