Does This Survey Predict Fracture Risk Better Than Dexa Scan?

  At 65 just recently had my DEXA scan and my FRAX assessment strongly recommended medications. My worst result was R NOF - 3.6. Doing balance and weight training. More scared of the medications than an oteoporotic fracture.

  I took the frax test and came out with a score of 1.2% chance of having a hip fracture in the next ten years, relatively low.

  Here's my bone density test... 62 years old. Bought a bicycle. Fell hard while turning on gravel. Smacked my ankle, knee, shoulder, and temple HARD! Scraped up pretty good, but nothing broken 😀

  As a relatively active guy in my 70's, this is a very relevant topic for you to cover. Keep up the great content!

  Sage advise my mother died as a result of the broken hip. After a brief stay in hospice. God bless hospice.

  I fractured my heel in January. It was such a tiny fracture it took the doctor for 10 minutes to find it on the xray. He thought I had a sprain but I was very clear about no muscle pain.<br><br>7 months later I still have heel pain if I walk more than 15,000 steps. Seriously impacting my quality of life as I&apos;m used to doing 25,000+ steps two or three times a week

  Just ordered a truckload of bubblewrap! &nbsp;But seriously, I wish that I would have known that I had osteoporosis before I broke my hip. &nbsp;Doing what I can to increase my bone density and prevent another fracture. &nbsp;Knowledge is power!

  Thank you. &nbsp;I was dx&apos;d osteoporosis in June. &nbsp;My doctor did this too. &nbsp;But asked about coffee consumption. &nbsp;Good to know my doctor and you guys agree !

  Yrs back our daughter, lazing in the basement on the pull-out couch 🛋 fell onto the ciment floor, twisted/wrapped in a blanket fell she landed on carpeted ciment floor, x-ray read &quot;Hairline fracture&quot; at her elbow, I tell the kids to not hurt themselves cuz they know I won&apos;t be visiting them at the hosp nor taking them, wondering how I knew her injury was minor I replied had it been more serious she&apos;d not of been laughing about it, Mom&apos;s just know! ❤

  This is good. &nbsp;I had a radial and bimalleolar ankle fracture last year from turning my ankle while walking. I took hormone blockers for three years for cancer. Ended up with osteoporosis. We don’t emphasize this risk enough.
