Normative Bone Mineral Density Z-Scores for Canadians Aged 16 to 24 Years: The Canadian Multicenter Osteoporosis Study

Abstract: The objectives of the study were to develop bone mineral density (BMD) reference norms and BMD Z-scores at various skeletal sites, to determine whether prior fracture and/or asthma were related to BMD, and to assess possible geographic variation of BMD among Canadian youth aged 16-24 yr. Z-Scores were defined as the number of standard deviations from the mean BMD of a healthy population of the same age, race, and sex. Z-Scores were calculated using the reference sample defined as Canadian Caucasian participant… Show more

“…The risk of development of conditions related to regimen longterm toxicities (cardiovascular disease, bone fractures, and CKD) was also captured in the model. Data on key biomarkers were collected from the SWORD trial 13,14 and the literature [20][21][22] and used to inform the risk of development of long-term toxicities depending on the treatment arm.…”

“…Overall, BMD values in PEAK-25 were similar or significantly higher compared to similarly aged international cohorts [7,8,10,11,[14][15][16][17][18]]. This suggests that lower peak bone mass does not simply explain the observed high fracture incidence later in life.…”

“…We compared the PEAK-25 BMD data with other studies reporting normative values for similarly aged women [7,8,10,11,[14][15][16][17][18], using the entire comparative cohort or a subgroup meeting the age criteria (25y±1y). When mean age was unavailable, the age-range was calculated as (low+high/2), to be within age 24-26. As individual BMD data was not available for the comparative cohorts, standardized BMD (sBMD) values were calculated using the formula sBMD = α + β × BMD [19,20].…”

“…BMD declines rapidly with age, leaving older adults most susceptible to fractures [ 1 ]. Typically, BMD is represented either absolutely (in g/cm 2 ), or by a Z-score, which compares an individual’s BMD to the average values for a healthy person of the same age and sex [ 2 ]. Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by bone loss and deterioration of bone structure, is the leading cause of fractures in the U.S. and affects almost 20% of women and 5% of men aged 50 and over [ 1 , 3 ].…”
