A ‘skeletal age’ calculator to predict bone fracture risk – Science Daily
Researchers have developed a model to predict the biological age of bones that may improve the management of osteoporotic fractures.
Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have developed a computational model to calculate ‘skeletal age’, a personalised estimate of an individual’s risk of bone fracture and premature death.The skeletal age calculator, which will be accessible to doctors and health professionals, aims to better identify those at risk of a first bone fracture and subsequent fractures, and also estimates how fractures impact life expectancy.
