UNLABELLED: Fracture probabilities derived from the original FRAX model for Brazil were compared to those from an updated model based on more recent regional estimates of the incidence of hip fracture. Fracture probabilities were consistently lower in the updated FRAX model. Despite large differences between models, differences in the rank order of fracture probabilities were minimal. OBJECTIVE: Recent epidemiological data indicate that the risk of hip fracture in Brazil is lower than that used to create the original FRAX model...
