The article presents the results of a study of bone mineral density and fracture risk assessment using FRAX tool in 179 citizens of the Ryazan region. According to the results of densitometry distal forearm in 20% of cases revealed osteopenia, and 10% - osteoporosis. The fracture risk, calculated by FRAX tool, correlates with the results of densitometry, which suggests the possibility of using FRAX for the diagnostics of osteoporosis.
