I'm wondering who would be the appropriate candidate for FRAX. Is it for everyone, or is it specific to certain individuals based on their age, gender, health conditions, or family history? I'd like to understand who should consider getting FRAX.

A patient with a 20% chance or greater of a major osteoporotic fracture, as calculated by FRAX, should also be diagnosed with osteoporosis.
