Prevalence of Low Bone Density and Fracture Risk Assessed with the FRAX Tool in German Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study highlights the elevated fracture risk in axSpA patients assessed with FRAX. In this cohort, BMD alone was not associated with fracture history, suggesting that other factors-such as age, sex, glucocorticoid exposure, and prior fractures-may play a more prominent role. FRAX provides a valuable tool for evaluating fracture risk in axSpA, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive assessment that incorporates both clinical risk factors and BMD.
