## Abstract Bone mineral density (BMD) is a strong predictor of fracture, yet most fractures occur in women without osteoporosis by BMD criteria. To improve fracture risk prediction, the World Health Organization recently developed a countryβspecific fracture risk index of clinical risk factors (FR
## 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
