## Abstract The aim of this prospective study was (1) to identify significant and independent clinical risk factors (CRFs) for major osteoporotic (OP) fracture among periβ and early postmenopausal women, (2) to assess, in this population, the discriminatory capacity of FRAX and bone mineral density
## Summary This prospective study aimed to determine the risk factors and the 10-year probability of osteoporotic fracture in Southern Chinese men. The findings show substantial population differences in fracture incidence and risk prediction compared to the FRAX^TM^ model, and the addition of BMD
