AB ABSTRACTObjective: To assess the relationship between the FRAX index and the Barthel index/MiniMentalState Examination in older people.Patients and methods: Observational descriptive study. Demographic data, comorbidity,dependency and cognitive state, and risk of osteoporotic fracture were collected.Results: A total of 375 patients were included (60% female) Patients with a low-risk FRAX forhip fractures had a higher Mini-mental (25, 95% CI¼24–27 vs. 22, 95%¼21 to 23, p¼.0001), ahigher Barthel index (88, 95% CI¼84–93 vs 72, 69 to 76, p¼.0001) without differences in theCharlson index. Bivariate analysis showed an inverse association between FRAX and scales butlogistic regression showed only female sex (OR 4.4, 95% CI¼2.6–7.6) and the non-dependentBarthel index (OR¼0.104, 95% CI¼0.014–0.792) remained significant and. Barthel index/Minimentalconstructed a significant model capable of predicting a risk of hip fracture of >3% measuredby the FRAX index, with an area under the curve of 0.76 (95% CI¼0.7–0.81).Conclusions: The FRAX index is related to other markers of geriatric assessment and the associationbetween these variables can predict a risk of hip fracture of >3% measured by theFRAX index.
