J Bone Miner ResPublished Task force report based on a systematic review

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Fracture prediction models should not include race or ethnicity adjustment but instead be population-based and reflective of US demographics, and inclusive of key clinical, behavioral and social determinants (where applicable)

  2. Research cohorts should be representative vis-à-vis race, ethnicity, gender and age

  3. Standardized collection of race and ethnicity; collection of social determinants of health to investigate impact on fracture risk; and measurement of fracture rates and bone mineral density (BMD) in cohorts inclusive of those historically underrepresented in osteoporosis research
