The diagnostic performance of the screening index comprising YSM and BMI was equivalent to the OSTA and the FRAX®. A risk chart was developed for clinicians to identify and recommend subjects for a further dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan. Validation of this model in larger and more diverse cohorts is required.
