Could you please elaborate on the FRAX score for intermediate risk? I'm interested in understanding how it's calculated and what factors contribute to this specific risk category. Also, how does the FRAX score differ for individuals with intermediate risk compared to those with low or high risk? Additionally, could you provide some insight into how the FRAX score is used in clinical practice to assess fracture risk? I'm curious to know how it affects treatment decisions and patient management. Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this topic.

On the other hand, individuals scoring 7.5 or higher are classified as having a high risk of experiencing osteoporotic fractures.
