Corrigendum to “Fracture Risk in Type 2 Diabetes: Current Perspectives and Gender Differences”
In the article titled “Fracture Risk in Type 2 Diabetes: Current Perspectives and Gender Differences” [1], with regard to the FRAX® tool, it has been reported that “Among the different tools to assess fracture risk, the WHO fracture risk assessment (FRAX) is a computer based algorithm (http://www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX/) primarily intended for use in primary care [56, 57].” We point out that the metabolic bone disease unit at the University of Sheffield that developed FRAX was a WHO Collaborating Centre from 1991 to 2010, but the World Health Organization (WHO) did not develop, test, or endorse the FRAX tool or its recommendations [2]. Additionally, the name of the fourth author was given incorrectly as Morabito Nunziata. The author′s name should have been written as Nunziata Morabito. The revised authors′ list is shown above.
