Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Retain ethnic and race-specific FRAX models for the US, preferably with updated data on fracture and death hazards; an agnostic model would unfairly discriminate against the Black, Asian and Hispanic communities

  2. Intervention thresholds based on a fixed BMD unfairly discriminate against the Black, Asian and Hispanic communities in the US
