1 The World Health Organization (WHO) defines osteoporosis as the presence of a bone mineral density (BMD) at least 2.5 standard deviations below the mean BMD for young adults. 2 Osteoporosis affects an estimated 20 million to 25 million people in the United States, particularly postmenopausal ...
Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in women as a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old healthy female average) as measured by DXA; the term "established osteoporosis" includes the presence of a fragility fracture. Osteoporosis ...

It is published by the World Health Organization (WHO). ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes consist of three to seven digits. The codes for osteoporosis can generally be found under Disorders of Bone Density and Structure (M80-M82), with a few exceptions. M80 codes relate to osteoporosis with a ...
World Health Organization standards for the diagnosis of Osteoporosis: 1.0 SD (Standard Deviation) = Normal Bone Mass 1.0 SD to -1.0 SD = Mild or Borderline Osteopenia -1.0 SD to -2.5 SD = Low Bone Mass or Moderate Osteopenia -2.5 SD or Lower = Osteoporosis. ...
According to WHO (World Health Organization), osteoporosis is a generalized skeletal disorder in which a person suffers from low bone mass and deterioration of the bones. As bone architecture deteriorates, the bones become very fragile and eventually become prone to fractures. ...
The amount of SD will then be used to determine whether the level of bone loss in your case can be rated as osteoporosis. The World Health organization has defined the following threshold values for the diagnosis of osteoporosis with the DXA: ...

[7, 8, 9] World Health Organization (WHO) criteria define a normal T-score value as within 1 standard deviation (SD) of the mean BMD value in a healthy young adult. Values lying farther from the mean are stratified as follows [8] : T-score of –1 to –2.5 SD indicates osteopenia ...
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can be used to diagnose osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men aged > 50 years. The World Health Organization defines osteoporosis in these populations as a BMD at the spine, hip or forearm of 2.5 or ...
