Novel nomogram for predicting the 3-year incidence risk of osteoporosis in a Chinese male population.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To establish a rapid, cost-effective, accurate, and acceptable osteoporosis (OP) screening model for the Chinese male population (age ≥ 40 years) based on data mining technology.
