FRAX Calculated without BMD Resulting in a Higher Fracture Risk Than That Calculated with BMD in Women with Early Breast Cancer

Table 2

BMD measures at spine, total hip, and femoral neck.

BMD Risk Category	Spine (n=115)	Left Hip		Combined Spine & Left (n=115)	p value between the groups^∗
		Total Femoral (n=115)	Femoral Neck (n=115)
Normal (WHO criterion [T-score ≥-1])	29 (25.2%)	31 (26.9%)	32 (27.8%)	3 (2.6%)
Osteopenia (WHO criterion [T-score between -1 and -2.5])	58 (50.4%)	70 (60.9%)	67 (58.3%)	74 (64.4%)	<0.001
Osteoporosis (WHO criterion [T-score ≤-2.5])	28 (24.4%)	14 (12.2%)	16 (13.9%)	38 (33.0%)
