Abstract
The percentage of previously unknown VFs diagnosed by VFA in women aged 50 years and older with one or more CRFs for fractures in primary care is high. When only using BMD measurements, only half the women eligible for treatment would actually receive this. We recommend performing VFA in all women aged 50 years and older who are referred for DXA based on Dutch case finding criteria.
