Purpose:  The present study aimed to examine the association between the stage of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and the risk of fracture in postmenopausal women. Methods:  A cross-sectional design was used, which included 133 women with POP over 50 years of age. The participants were classified according to their POP stage, underwent blood tests (hemogram, biochemistry, bone remodeling markers, and hormone tests), and completed a sociodemographic and lifestyle questionnaire along with densitometry, FRAX, and FRIDEX tests. Results:  Of the 133 women studied, 66 presented stages I-II POP (49.6%) and 67 III-IV POP (50.4%). The mean age of the participants was 64.47 years. Women with a high POP stage showed higher FRAX scores for major osteoporotic and hip fracture ( p  .001 and  p  &lt; .001p). Bivariate analysis revealed that higher scores on the FRIDEX scale were associated with a higher POP stage ( p  = .032). In addition, there was a marginally significant negative association between bone mineral density (BMD) and POP stage ( p  = .054). Conclusions:  High-stage POP can be considered an independent predictor of osteoporotic fracture risk, as measured using the FRAX and FRIDEX scales.
