In the article titled “Risk Factors for Falls and Fragility Fractures in Community-Dwelling Seniors: A One-Year Prospective Study” [1], there was an error regarding the FRAX® tool, which should be clarified as follows.
The article notes: “FRAX is a tool that can help assess fracture risk. Launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2008.” However, the World Health Organization (WHO) did not develop, test, or endorse the FRAX tool or its recommendations [2]. The metabolic bone disease unit at the University of Sheffield that developed FRAX was a WHO Collaborating Centre from 1991 to 2010, but treatment guidelines must undergo a formal process before they can be endorsed by the WHO.
