ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the predictive value of fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) for determining fracture probabilities in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out on 153 type 2 diabetic patients aged over 50 years undergoing dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements.Fracture risk factors including age,gender,height,weight,body mass index,history of previous fragility fractures,parental history of hip fracture,history of smoking,excessive drinking,long-term use of steroid hormone,history of rheumatoid arthritis,the history of secondary osteoporosis diseases,and femoral neck T-score of bone mineral density (BMD) were recorded.FRAX scores with BMD (FRAX/BMD) and without BMD (FRAX/-) were calculated.Therapeutic interventions were recommended if the 10-year risk of fractures was more than 3% for hip osteoporotic fractures and more than 20% for other major fractures.Subjects were separated into the identical treatment recommendation group and the different treatment recommendation.Fracture risk factors were compared between groups.Results 133 (6.9 %) patients had identical fracture risk predictions in the FRAX calculation,regardless of whether BMD join in or not.Age,gender and femoral neck T scores had significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.001),while other risk factors had no statistical differences between the two groups (all P>0.05).Conclusions In most middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes,the FRAX/-provides the same prediction as FRAX/BMD value for predicting fracture risk,which shows that fracture risks can be predicted without bone density examination.The FRAX/-has higher predictive values on fracture for people who are younger,male,and has higher BMD.
