FRAX and FRAXplus Update
We have recently launched a parallel website to bring the FRAX web platform into the modern era, usable across a wide range of devices. (www.fraxplus.org)
FRAXplus® contains the most up-to-date FRAX calculators, freely available.
Additional features include access to an individualised FRAX account for storage of FRAX calculations and a beta-version, fee-based access to modifications of the FRAX probability (e.g. recency of fracture or falls in the previous year).
Once the FRAXplus® website is available in all the FRAX languages, the old FRAX website (https://frax.shef.ac.uk/FRAX) will be retired.
歡迎來到FRAX®
FRAX®是由世界衛生組織 所開發、用於評估病患骨折風險的工具，其根據為整合相關臨床危險因子及股骨頸骨密度（BMD）之危險性的個別病患模型。

FRAX®是以歐洲、北美、亞洲及澳洲族群為基礎的世代研究發展出來的。本站所提供之FRAX®工具是最複雜的型式，可透過電腦運算。另有幾種根據危險因子數目的簡化紙本版可下載供公務使用。
FRAX®演算法可評估10年內骨折的機率，運算出10年內髖骨骨折機率以及10年內主要骨鬆性骨折的可能性(臨床性脊椎、前臂、髖骨或肩部骨折)。
Clarification
The University of Sheffield launched the FRAX tool in 2008. At that time the University hosted the The World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Metabolic Bone
Diseases (1991-2010), and the FRAX tool is based on data generated from that centre. However, FRAX was neither developed or endorsed by WHO . Any references to the ‘WHO tool’
or to the WHO Collaborating Centre after it finished its work in 2010 are incorrect.
