Race-specific FRAX models are evidence-based and support equitable care: a response to the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Task Force report on Clinical Algorithms for Fracture Risk
Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Retain ethnic and race-specific FRAX models for the US, preferably with updated data on fracture and death hazards; an agnostic model would unfairly discriminate against the Black, Asian and Hispanic communities
Intervention thresholds based on a fixed BMD unfairly discriminate against the Black, Asian and Hispanic communities in the US
