ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of the present study was to develop an osteoporosis risk-assessment model to identify high-risk individuals among Korean men.

Materials and methods

The study used data from 1340 and 1110 men ≥50 years who participated in the 2009 and 2010 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, respectively, for development and validation of an osteoporosis risk-assessment model. Osteoporosis was defined as T score ≤-2.5 at either the femoral neck or lumbar spine.
