Limited data suggest that greater FRAX-derived fracture probability is associated with incident falls at least in elderly men. Our aim was to examine the association of FRAX-derived fracture probability with the risk for subsequent fall-associated hospitalizations. We identified individuals aged 40\u00a0yr or older at the time of baseline DXA with FRAX-derived major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) probability assessed through the Manitoba BMD Program. We used linkage with population-based data to identify subsequent hospitalization that included a fall diagnosis code. Sensitivity analyses examined fall-associated hospitalizations unrelated to a concurrent fracture (diagnosed within 30\u00a0d). Cox regression was used to estimate HR for time to fall-associated hospitalization according to MOF probability without and with BMD (per SD increase and also for individual variables in the FRAX tool). The study comprised 88\u2009684 individuals, mean age 64.6\u00a0yr, 89.5% female. During mean 8.6\u00a0yr observation (total 759\u2009963 person-years), 9715 (11.0%) individuals experienced a fall-associated hospitalization; of these, 3363 (3.8%) were unrelated to concurrent fracture. Every SD increase in MOF fracture probability was strongly associated with fall-associated hospitalization (without BMD HR, 2.47; 95% CI, 2.41-2.52; with BMD HR, 2.48; 95% CI, 2.43-2.53). No significant interaction was seen between fracture probability and follow-up time (p\u2009=\u2009.516). Findings were similar when restricted to individuals with falls unrelated to concurrent fracture, when adjusted for previous fall-associated hospitalization (last 3\u00a0yr) or self-reported fall (last 12\u00a0mo), when restricted to individuals without previous falls, and for FRAX-derived hip fracture probability. All FRAX variables except for parental hip fracture showed a positive relationship with fall-associated hospitalization. In conclusion, FRAX-derived fracture probability is strongly associated with risk for future fall-associated hospitalization, including falls unrelated to concurrent fracture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbmr\/zjag020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,27]],"date-time":"2026-01-27T12:12:28Z","timestamp":1769515948000},"page":"1080-1086","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fracture
