A noninvasive test called dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) can assess your bone density. It provides measurements called T-scores that may indicate osteopenia or osteoporosis. The scores also help determine your vulnerability to to bone fractures. A T-score ranging from -1 to -...

Median time of progression to osteopenia was almost 7 years, but in those patients with normal BMD but whose baseline minimum T score was in the “high-risk" tertile, this progression was much faster (<2 years). Similarly, osteopenia progressed to osteoporosis in a quarter of patients.Similar...
The goal of this study is to compare the effects of bench-step and walking exercise (WE) on changes in osteocalcin and CTX-1 levels. Methods: Fifty-nine sedentary post-menopausal women with osteopenia (T-score between 1 and 2.5) were randomly divided into two groups: WE group (n=29) ...
T-scores help to determine which category — osteopenia, osteoporosis, or normal — you fall into: A T-score of -1 or higher means you have normal bone density. A T-score of -1.1 to -2.4 means you have osteopenia. A T-score of -2.5 of lower indicates osteoporosis. (1) The lower ...
Trabecular bone scoreObjectives:To evaluate the role of trabecular bone score (TBS), in addition to bone mineral density (BMD), and to aid decision making to initiate anti-osteoporotic treatment in postmenopausal women with osteopenia. Methods:TBS was assessed in a cohort of Thai postmenopausal ...
Ao analisar o escore da UCLA do Grupo 3 e compará‐lo com o dos grupos 2 e 1, não foi verificada uma diferença estatisticamente significativa nos resultados (p = 0,746) (tabela 6). Tabela 6. Comparação grupo normais × osteopenia e osteoporose juntos UCLANormais n = 55Gru...
No one had a BMD t-score at any site below 2.5 sd of the mean. What did the participants have to eat? Fifty-five women were in a treatment group (and completed the study) that was assigned to consume 100 grams of prunes a day--that's about 10 prunes--for 12 months. "Because ...
Thirty-six postmenopausal women above 50 years of age with a wrist fracture no older than two years, healed at inclusion (no plaster cast), with osteopenia (t-score < 1.5) [1] and domiciled in the Oslo region were recruited at baseline from the on-going RCT. The patients were ...
