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 chapterExplore book Assessment of Bone ...

(BMD) T-score is -2.5 or less. People with osteopenia have T-scor between -1 and – 2.5, and healthy people have 0. Above 0 is also not normal. This way of calculating bone mineral density is very important for preventing and diagnosing diseases. This way, many people find out they...

The T -scores obtained in a sample of 148 women by applying the Spanish normal range were compared with the normal range obtained in NHANES III for femoral neck. Significant differences were found when T -scores were compared, but there were no differences in categorizations using the WHO ...
Blood samples were obtained to quantify serum glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Subjects with BMI Z scores of +3 or −3; values of glucose ≥100 mg/dL, total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL; HDL...
Low bone mineral density is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction in men and women Summary The association between bone mineral density (BMD) and myocardial infarction (MI) was investigated in 6,872 men and women. For both men and women,... P Wiklund,A Nordstr?M,JH Jansso...
Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic bone disease among pre- and postmenopausal women. As the precursors of osteoclast cells, circulating monocytes play important role in bone destruction and remodeling. The aim of study is to identify potent
