## 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
## Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) computes 10βyear probability of major osteoporotic fracture from multiple risk factors, including femoral neck (FN) __T__βscores. Lumbar spine (LS) measurements are not currently part of the FRAX formulation but ar
