DEAR DR. ROACH: The results for my last bone density test show not only a T-score but also a Z-score. For my spine (L1 through L4), the T-score is -3.4, while the Z-score is -1.4. Can you please explain the difference between the two measurements? I rea...
Patients with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) may have several risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of low BMD in IBMFS and determine the associated risk factors. Patients with IBMFS with at
Introduction We hypothesized that the prevalence of vertebral fractures would be low and that bone mineral density (BMD) would be less severely affected in a black South African (SA) population treated with glucocorticoids (GCs) than that reported in mainly white populations. Methods All children ...
T-score Z-score For fractures we added: QN Fx = Fracture indicated on the questionnaire VFA Performed = Yes/No – if a VFA was performed VFA FX = Fracture indicated on VFA The sample rules above represent one way to automate the assessment of bone density scans. There are many variations...

In doing so, the current study also aimed to provide centile curves for outcomes previously without reference data, including tissue mineral density and moments of inertia. The ultimate goal was to provide calculators to enable the computation of subject-specific percentiles and z-scores for both ...
This randomized trial compares the effects of 400 vs 4000 vs 10 000 IU of vitamin D on total volumetric bone mineral density and bone strength of the

Diagnosis can be difficult because both diseases are characterized by low bone mineral density and low-trauma fractures. Analyzing bone structure and biomarkers of bone turnover should exclude osteoporosis in patients with severe CKD and low-trauma fractures. Although more information is needed on the...
