An Updated Reference for Calculating Bone Mineral Density T-Scores

Abstract: Context Bone mineral density (BMD) T-score reference may be updated when the peak BMD of the population is unclear and may need to be updated. Objective To update BMD T-score references using the peak BMD from the most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Design Cross-sectional study. … Show more

“…Another assessment method is Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT), which measures volumetric Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in both trabecular and cortical bone. Nevertheless,this approach is not recommended due to its high economic cost and the greater ionizing radiation exposure requiblue for patients compablue to DXA scans [15]. Diagnosing osteoporosis can involve a bone tissue biopsy, an invasive technique that entails extracting tissue samples, typically only performed if there is evidence of a tumor [16].…”

“…Presently, the OP is de ned as the BMD of postmenopausal female interviewee is 2.5 or more SD lower than that of healthy adults of the same gender [32] . This study evaluated BMD in the lumbar spine and femoral neck and adopted a latest reference of BMD updated by Xue et al [33] .…”

“…For every standard deviation below mean, fracture risk increases 50%-100%. 22 BMD scoring is important to determine diagnosis of osteoporosis before treatment begins. Individuals with a fragility fracture of the hip or spine have a diagnosis of osteoporosis regardless of BMD and should be started on treatment.…”

“…A T-score of more than one standard deviation below the T-score mean indicates lower than expected BMD for chronologic age, with lower scores signifying more severe bone loss, as summarized in Table 2. For every standard deviation below mean, fracture risk increases 50%-100% 22. BMD scoring is important to determine diagnosis of osteoporosis before treatment begins.…”
