Methodology: In this cross-sectional study a continuous sample of 270 women and 89 men (age: 20–90 years) was divided into four groups by age (≤ 55 or &gt; 55 years) and sex. Participants completed the IOF test. Low-, medium-, and high-risk grades were defined by an OSTA index of greater than -1, -1 to -4, and less than -4, respectively. Results: Most participants were categorized in the low-risk group (240 people, 66.9%), followed by the medium-risk (102 people, 28.4%) and high-risk groups (17 people, 4.7%). Compared to women, men in both age groups had significantly higher OSTA index and greater numbers of positive answers on the IOF test. 64.3% individuals were susceptible to osteoporosis risk (≥1 positive answers on the IOF test). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that family history of fragility fracture (OR: 0.503, 95% CI: 0.26–0.97), height loss exceeding 3 cm (OR: 2.51, 95% CI: 1.55–4.05), and earlier menopause (OR: 0.434, 95% CI: 0.19–0.97) were associated with higher risk grades. Conclusions: Combined use of the OSTA and IOF test is a simple and effective method for assessing the risk of osteoporosis.</jats:p></jats:sec>

Evaluating the predictive quality of the Chapman bone algorithm using aggregated data sets

“…27 Additional methods for self-modulated analysis of bone health have been constructed, such as the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA) and the International Osteoporosis Foundation's (IOF) tests. 28 OSTA and IOR gave low-, medium-, and high-risk grades for metabolic bone diseases, determining a subject's relative need to seek a physician's assistance.…”

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is associated with the risk of osteoporosis: a cross-sectional evidence from a Chinese community-based cohort

“…(5) OSTA index calculation: OSTA index was calculated using the formula of (weight in kilograms age in years) × 0.2, established by Koh et al (2001) [17]. An OSTA index of − 1 to − 4 is regarded as medium risk of sustaining osteoporosis, greater than − 1 as low risk, and less than − 4 as high risk [33,34]. (6) Subgroup stratification: The study population was then divided into subgroups according to sex and age (< 65 vs. ≥ 65 years old) for analysis, considering osteoporosis starts earlier and gets worse faster in women; however, starting at about age 65, both sexes lose bone at about the same rate [35,36].…”

“…Į tyrimą įtraukti asmenys, kurie pasirašė dalyvavimo sutikimą, užpildė anketinį klausimyną, buvo ištirti PR. Pagal surinktus duomenis toliau dalyvauti atrinkti 148 sveiki, nerūkantys individai, metų laikotarpiu nevartoję kaulinio audinio metabolizmą veikiančių medikamentų, nepatyrę traumų ir kaulų lūžių, smakro angos srityje nepraradę dantų bei antagonistų, pagal Tarptautinį OP fondo Vienos minutės OP testą turintys normalią KMT vertę [17]. Atmetimo kriterijai: prarasti dantys, likusios šaknys, nėra antagonistų SA srityje, PR neaiškus SA vaizdas, tiriamos srities funkcija atkurta implantais, patenkinama ir bloga bendra sveikatos būklė.…”
