Researchers are validating a computer tool called BBCT-hip that predicts whether someone will break their hip bone if they fall. The tool uses your height, weight, and a CT scan of your hip to estimate your fracture risk. This study compares women who have already broken their hip with similar women who have not, to see how well the tool works.
Hip fractures are a serious problem for older women and can lead to loss of independence and long-term disability. By creating a better way to predict who is at highest risk, doctors could identify women who need extra prevention or treatment before a fracture happens.

If you join this study, you will have a CT scan of your hip bone (if you haven't had one in the last 3 months). Researchers will then use the BBCT-hip tool to predict your fracture risk based on that scan. If you're in the comparison group without a fracture history, you may be asked to return for follow-up visits over time so researchers can see whether the tool's predictions come true.
