In Reply: Drs Grey and Cundy indicate their dissatisfaction with the intervention thresholds for osteoporosis treatment recommended by the National Osteoporosis Foundation (ie, 3% absolute risk of hip fracture or 20% risk of major osteoporotic fracture during a 10-year period).1 We understand that intervention thresholds will vary by practitioner, patient, and country, and we agree that a robust discussion about appropriate thresholds is important. We do believe, however, that cost-effectiveness analyses can be helpful in setting public health policy.
