摘要：
Methods of predicting fracture risk of a patient include: obtaining an image of a bone of the patient determining one or more bone structure parameters predicting a fracture line with the bone structure parameter predicting a fracture load at which a fracture will happen estimating body habitus of the patient calculating a peak impact force on the bone when the patient falls and predicting a fracture risk by calculating the ratio between the peak impact force and the fracture load. Inventive methods also include determining the effect of a candidate agent on any subjects risk of fracture.
