| Abstract: | SummaryThe worldwide uptake of FRAX is described.IntroductionThe aim of this report was to determine the usage of FRAX worldwide over a 1-year period from 1 May 2012.MethodsThe number of FRAX calculations from each country was assessed over a 1-year period and expressed as calculations per million of the population aged 50 years or more. Countries were colour coded according to usage to populate a world map.ResultsOver the index year, there were estimated to be 2,391,639 calculations sourced from 173 counties. Uptake was high in North America, the Antipodes and most countries of Europe; intermediate in Latin America and the Middle East; and very low in Africa and much of South East Asia.ConclusionsIt is expected that the comparative data will encourage the development of new FRAX models and the uptake of FRAX into assessment guidelines. |
