  • *The shrunken β-coefficients were derived by applying the shrinkage factor (0.98 for the extended model and 0.99 for the recalibrated model) to the original β-coefficients.

  • †Log odds transformed 10-year risks of hip fracture (ln(probhip/(1 − probhip)) as derived from the original UK FRAX algorithm.
