ABSTRACT
To find the correlation between Fracture Index and BMD T-score so that fracture index can be used as a predictive tool for fracture risk estimation in post menopausal females. Design:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 396 women age 50 years and above. BMD T-score measurements using ultrasound and Fracture Index calculations based on the risk factor assessment were performed.Setting:
North Medical Ward, Unit 4 Et Out Patient Clinics, Mayo Hospital and Akram Medical complex, Lahore. Mainoutcome:
Use of Fracture Index as a predictive tool for the estimation of fracture risk in post menopausal females. The study results showed that when Fracture Index increases BMD T-score decreases to osteoporotic range and correlation coefficient is -0.162. When Fracture Index increases, BMD T-score decreases therefore we can use Fracture Index as an assessment tool for predicting fracture risk in postmenopausal females
