The Fracture Risk Calculator was developed in Sydney by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

The study began in 1989 and included more than 2500 men and women aged 60 years or more from the Australian regional city of Dubbo. To date its the longest running study of its kind in the world. It has contributed major changes to our understanding of osteoporosis in women and men, including risk of fracture, impact on quality of life, and even survival.

The following fracture risk calculator is the result of that research. The only catch is that you have to be over 60 to participate. I guess they are assuming that people under 60 will generally have strong bones anyway.
