The FRAX method estimates your personal 10-year bone fracture risk. Used by doctors worldwide, validated across 20+ countries. Takes about 2 minutes.

Step 1 of 4
Where do you live?
Fracture rates differ between countries. Selecting yours gives the most accurate estimate.

Step 2 of 4
About you
Age and body size both affect your bone fracture risk.
Height and weight
Step 3 of 4
Have any of these applied to you?
Toggle on anything that applies. These are the 7 clinical risk factors in the FRAX method. If you are unsure, leave it off.
🦵
Broken a bone as an adult from a minor fall or bump
Not from a car crash or major accident. Includes wrist, hip, spine, shoulder.
No
👪
A parent broke their hip
Your mother or father fractured their hip at any point in their life.
No
🚬
Current smoker
You currently smoke cigarettes, a pipe, or cigars.
No
💊
Taking steroid tablets (like prednisone) for 3 months or more
Prednisone, prednisolone, cortisone, dexamethasone, or similar. Even a low dose over months weakens bone.
No
🦵
Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Confirmed RA by a doctor. RA itself causes bone loss independently of medications.
No
🔬
A condition known to weaken bones
Type 1 diabetes, Crohn's or colitis, overactive thyroid, early menopause (before 45), chronic liver disease, or being unable to walk.
No
🍸
Drink 3 or more alcoholic drinks per day most days
Regularly having 3+ drinks daily. Light or occasional drinking does not count.
No
Step 4 of 4 — Optional
Do you have a bone density (DEXA) scan result?
If you have had a DEXA scan, adding your T-score makes this estimate more accurate. You can skip this if you do not have a result.
Optional
Your T-score is on your DEXA report. Look for the row labeled "Femoral Neck" and find the T-score column -- it will be a number like -1.5 or -2.3. Not sure? Skip this step. Don't have a scan yet? See our DEXA Scan Interpreter once you get one.
Major fracture risk
Hip, spine, shoulder, or forearm
Hip fracture risk
Hip specifically

⚠️
This is an estimate, not a diagnosis. FRAX is a widely used screening tool but is not a medical test. Your real risk may be higher or lower based on factors this tool cannot capture. Talk to your doctor before making any health decisions based on this result.

Verify with the official tool: For clinical purposes, always confirm at the official FRAX calculator (University of Sheffield / WHO Collaborating Centre for Metabolic Bone Diseases).
📋
Methodology: Estimates use published FRAX risk factor hazard ratios (Kanis et al., Osteoporos Int 2007, 2008) and country-specific baseline fracture rates calibrated to WHO-validated FRAX models. Country baseline rates are derived from published FRAX model outputs (Kanis et al., J Bone Miner Res 2012 and country-specific FRAX publications).
