Mean FRAX major osteoporotic fracture risk without femoral neck BMD was 7.06 ± 5.22%. Mean forearm BMD was 87.94 ± 17.00% of young adult mean (YAM). We administered the FRAX tool in 13,421 Japanese women who underwent DXA-based forearm BMD measurement in Chiba Bone Survey, a population-based, multicenter, cross-sectional study of postmenopausal osteoporosis conducted in Chiba, Japan. The FRAX has not been investigated adequately in community-dwelling Japanese women. The Fracture Risk Assessment tool (FRAX) can predict 10-year major osteoporotic fracture risk and hip fracture risk with or without femoral neck BMD. Although osteoporosis is diagnosed based on low bone mineral density (BMD) determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), BMD measurement is sometimes difficult because DXA is not widely available in the community. Osteoporosis not only increases bone fracture risk but also affects survival in postmenopausal women.
