Abstract Objective To investigate the accuracy of Osteoporosis Self-assessment Tool for Asians OSTA in identifying the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. To validate use of OSTA risk index by comparing it with the bone mineral density BMD of lumbar spine measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry DXA . Methods The data of lumbar spine BMD LS BMD measurements by DXA of 218 postmenopausal women of Han nationality in Sichuan province were compared with OSTA risk index. The concordance of OSTA and LS BMD were calculated and analyzed by fourfold table and receiver operating characteristic ROC curve. Results The prevalence of osteoporosis in these women was and with the LS BMD T score cutoffs and respectively. The sensitivity specificity and accuracy of OSTA risk index compared with T score cutoff of LS BMD were .
