Skeletal age calculator aims to better identify individuals at risk of bone fractures Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have developed a computational model to calculate skeletal age , a personalized 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. Osteoporosis, a disease which reduces bone strength and increases bone fracture risk, is a major national health issue and estimated to affect over 900,000 Australians. The cost of osteoporosis and fracture in Australia is $3.4 billion annually. ....
Date Time A ‘skeletal age’ calculator to predict bone fracture risk Garvan researchers have developed a model to predict the biological age of bones that may improve the management of osteoporotic fractures.
