    In the general population, active therapeutic intervention is advised in patients with high-risk FRAX® and those whose re-evaluated risk falls above a certain threshold (i.e. >10% for major fractures and/or >3% for hip fracture, according to countries and authors) (Fig. 3). Given that FRAX® appears to underestimate the risk of fracture in the Spanish cohort,45 later studies have re-evaluated its usefulness in our general population,46,47 and densitometry/treatment is now advised in patients with >7.5% 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture (Fig. 4). Finally, we believe it is important to point out that an increasing number of studies have recognised the close link between vascular disease and bone pathology.48
