Therefore, a complex of preventive measures will promote the support of working activity and the enhancement of life quality in elderly age. The study compared the efficiency of conventional osteoporosis diagnostics and FRAX technique in patients of different age groups. The results have shown that the FRAX mathematical model of evaluation of 10-year period bone fracture risk is not an effective diagnostic method as compared with conventional diagnostics. The FRAX clinical significance increases in patients aged 65 years and older with a lower BMD level and presence of 2 and more risk factors, which are considered by this diagnostic method.FRAXFRAX techniqueosteoporosisdensitometryrisk factorостеопорозденситометрияфакторы риска[Аудит состояния проблемы остеопороза в странах Восточной Европы и Центральной Азии 2010 // www.osteoporoz.ru][Гришина Л.П., Пугиев Л.И.
