Caucasian reference data are used to classify bone mineral density in US women of all races. However, use of Chinese American reference data yields lower osteoporosis prevalence in Chinese women. The reduction in osteoporosis labeling may be relevant for younger Chinese women at low fracture risk....
You’ll get 2 scores after your bone density test: T score:This compares your bone density with a healthy, young adult of your gender. The score indicates if your bone density is normal, below normal, or at the levels that indicate osteoporosis. Here’s what the T score means: ●-1 a...
COCs have been reported to enhance bone mineral density (BMD) in older women (30–34). This attribute would make them a logical choice for perimenopausal women who need to have a “bone bank” of increased bone mineral density prior to menopause. View chapter Chapter Assessment of Bone Dens...

University Hospital and 75 healthy, white females in the longitudinal Penn State Young Women's Health Study were included. Body composition, total body, and hip bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), exercise scores by sports-exercise questionnaire ...
The purpose of this case study was to examine the bone mineral density (BMD) of 2 women, aged 48 and 54 years, who had engaged in high-intensity resistance training for >30 years each and gained national prominence for their lifting performances. Each subject was measured using a dual x-...
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and other organizations have recommended that women ages 65 and older be routinely screened for osteoporosis using bone mineral density (BMD) screening. However, how often women should be screened is a topic that r
Patients with depression, especially women, are associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). Traditional antidepressants are associated with negative effects on BMD. Few studies have examined the effect of ketamine on BMD, and it remains unclear whether there are sex differences in the effects of...
Bone mineral density of the hip and total body was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 2303 men and 3105 women 47–50 and 71–75 years old, respectively, in western Norway, as part of the Hordaland Health Study (HUSK). Of these, 3403 white individuals were free of ...
During their four years at university, the Caucasian women studied had small but significant weight, body fat and BMI increases, while fitness scores also significantly increased. Younger age of menarche was associated with increased body fat at graduation. The use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate...
