Factors that can increase bone fracture risk
Low Trauma Fracture Risks
The risk of having a low trauma fracture depends on two main factors:
The presence of osteoporosis
The risk of falling over (which depends on factors such as balance, eyesight, and home environment).
Both of these topics are considered in this section on risk factors.
Are you at risk?
Take the Are you at risk? quiz. This questionnaire will help to establish whether you have risk factors for osteoporotic fractures. Please talk to your doctor if you are concerned about your risk of developing osteoporosis or having an osteoporotic fracture.
