Your Risk Calculators

Two calculators, ten minutes between them. The output: two numbers that will make your next conversation with your doctor a different conversation.

Your 10-Year Fracture Risk

FRAX calculates your 10-year risk of a major osteoporotic fracture (spine, hip, forearm, shoulder) and separately your risk of a hip fracture.

What it asks: Age, height, weight, previous fractures, parent's hip fracture, smoking, glucocorticoids, rheumatoid arthritis, secondary osteoporosis.

Time to complete: ~3 minutes

→ Go to FRAX

The calculator opens in a new tab. It will prompt you to select your country.

How to read your result

Your Heart Risk — Both 10-Year and Lifetime

Cardiovascular risk · Filtered by country

Different countries use different calculators, each validated for the local population. All of them calculate your 10-year risk of a heart attack or stroke. Some also calculate your lifetime risk — often radically higher and more informative for women in perimenopause.

🇺🇸 US and 🇨🇦 Canada
ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus
Calculates 10-year risk (women 40–79) and lifetime risk (women 20–59). The only major calculator that shows lifetime risk for middle-aged women.

🇳🇿 New Zealand
PREDICT (via your GP)
New Zealand uses an adapted version of PREDICT. The calculator is integrated into clinical software — available through your GP, not as a public tool.

For women 45–50: pay attention to lifetime risk.

Your 10-year risk almost always looks reassuringly low (2–4%) — cardiovascular events in middle-aged women are statistically rare. But your lifetime risk is often radically different — typically 25–35%. Same woman, same risk factors — just calculating through age 95 instead of 55.

That second number is the one to bring to your doctor. The decade of perimenopause is the window where you can influence decades to come.

What to bring to your doctor

Once you have both numbers, here are three specific questions to ask:

  1. "Given my numbers — how does this affect the MHT decision? Does it change the form (transdermal or oral), route, timing, or risk-benefit profile?"
  2. "Do I need additional tests? For example, ApoB or Lp(a) to refine my lipid profile, or a coronary calcium score (CAC) for direct atherosclerosis assessment?"
  3. "At my risk profile — when should the test be repeated, and what would need to change to revisit the strategy?"
