Dexa scans are the most commonly used test to measure bone density. Your results from this test can be a great help for diagnosing your initial bone loss and for monitoring the effectiveness of your Osteopenia treatment plan. On going test results can help you decide if you need to make ...
Reporting of bone mineral density values as T-scores or Z-scores: Comment on the article by Sowers et aldoi:10.1002/1529-0131(199911)42:11<2497::AID-ANR37>3.0.CO;2-2JohnUniversityA.UniversityShepherdUniversitySvenUniversityPrevrhalUniversity...
An inappropriate reference range for peak bone mineral density (BMD) may result in identification of an incorrect proportion of subjects with osteopenia and osteoporosis at dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In this study, we assessed the prevalence of low BMD in Turkish young adults with re...

High bone mineral density (BMD) is currently not defined by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry with a specific Z-score cutoff; however, it has been suggested that a Z-score greater than or equal to 2.5 is not normal. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained. We evaluate...
Meaning These results suggest that a larger and longer trial to determine whether testosterone treatment decreases fracture risk in this population is warranted. Abstract Importance As men age, they experience decreased serum testosterone concentrations, decreased bone mineral density (BMD), and increased ...
Using adult identified bone mineral density (BMD) loci, we calculated genetic risk scores (GRS) to determine if they were associated with changes in BMD during childhood. Longitudinal data from the Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study were analyzed (N = 798, 54% female, all European an...
Precision scores for HR-pQCT range from less than 2.4% for density to greater than 3.3% for microarchitecture parameters, with the exception of cortical porosity (<13.7%).17 DXA precision is 0.55% coefficient of variation for the total hip. Postural sway was assessed (Biosway machine, 950-...
That is, it does not account for depth or size and hence, it is not able to predict the ‘true density’ of the bone.16,22 Furthermore, DXA does not distinguish between trabecular and cortical bone. It provides only little information on bone geometry and trabecular microarchitecture. More...
Usage of GSPE has shown to increase bone density and strength in addition to its protective and curative effects in osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, and inflammatory autoimmune arthritis [5, 10,11,12]. However, its effects on fracture healing are not sufficiently available in the literature. From ...
