FRAX in conjunction with T-score predicts cardiovascular risk in older adults: a retrospective cohort bone density study from Thailand.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort found that osteoporosis (defined by T-score) or FRAX score is linked to a higher risk of non-fatal stroke. Additionally, a high FRAX score combined with T-score increases the risk of both major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and non-fatal stroke. PURPOSE: This study examined the relationship between osteoporosis and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in Thai older adults and evaluated the predictive capacity of the FRAX score for cardiovascular risk.
methodsA retrospective cohort study followed 348 individuals aged 60-75 Years for over 13 years (2005-2021) after their initial bone mineral density (BMD) assessment. Osteoporosis was defined by BMD T-scores ≤ -2.5 at the lumbar spine or femoral neck, or fragility fracture. High hip fracture risk was defined as a FRAX score ≥ 3%. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke (3P-MACE). Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
resultsWhile overall MACE was not significantly higher in the osteoporosis group, the stroke findings were increased (adjusted HR 2.46, 95% CI 1.12-5.39, p = 0.024). Utilizing FRAX score in conjunction with T-scores (FRAX-T ≥ 3%) was independently associated with an elevated risk of 3P-MACE (adjusted HR 1.88, 95% CI 1.05-3.38, p = 0.034) as well as non-fatal stroke risk (adjusted HR 3.04, 95% CI 1.38-6.69, p = 0.006).
conclusionsOsteoporosis demonstrates a significant association with increased stroke risk in Thai older adults. Utilizing FRAX-T may improve cardiovascular risk stratification. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and establish a definitive link between osteoporosis and broader cardiovascular outcomes in this population.
