KIMT News 3 & MedStarSource

Australia - There's an online tool that can help anyone over 60 predict their risk of bone fracture.

Australian researchers developed the tool by using data collected from an osteoporosis study.

Patients can go online to create a unique risk profile that combines factors like sex, age, weight and medical history.

But remember, this is only a guide.

Talk to your doctor is you have any serious fracture concerns.

The tool can be found by going to www.garvan.org.au/promotions/bone-fracture-risk.
