What is the Osteoporosis Risk Score Calculator & How does it work?
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures. The risk of developing osteoporosis can be influenced by various factors including age, gender, hormonal status, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.
The Osteoporosis Risk Score Calculator helps assess the likelihood of an individual developing osteoporosis based on these factors. The score is calculated using a combination of demographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables.

var = meaning
(alpha, beta, gamma, delta) = coefficients based on clinical studies
