Osteoporosis Self Assessment Tool (OST)
Classifies the risk of osteoporosis in women and men.
Suitable for use in postmenopausal women and men who have not previously been diagnosed with osteoporosis.
Management
-
Low risk: Bone densitometry testing may be postponed or avoided; focus on lifestyle modifications and routine monitoring.
-
Intermediate and high risk: Bone densitometry should be considered to confirm risk and guide the initiation of appropriate management strategies, including pharmacologic interventions if indicated.
