assess an individual's risk for developing fractures.
The risk of fracture is affected by age, body
weight, history of prior fracture, family history
of osteoporotic fractures and life style issues
such as cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol
consumption. These factors are taken into consideration
when deciding if a patient needs therapy.
