Thirty-nine percent of Hologic (Hologic, Inc., Bedford, MA) subjects and 30% of Lunar (GE Lunar, GE Madison, WI) subjects diagnosed with "osteoporosis" by T-score were reclassified as either "normal" or "osteopenia" when their Z-score was used. Substitution of DXA Z-scores for T-...
The recommended reference group for the T-score is a young gender-matched population at peak bone mass, while the Z-score should be derived from an age-matched reference population. T-scores and Z-scores are widely quoted in scientific publications on osteoporosis and BMD studies, and are the...
Densitometry: 16% bone loss comparing to the mean value for age (Z score – 1.3) – osteopenia (in 2007 years = 24% – Z score 2 – osteoporosis) Gynecological examination: normally developed labia majora and minora, normal size of clitoris. Narrow introitus vaginae, blind ending vagina. ...
(BUA). More complex parame¬ters have been developed from combination of SoS and BUA: amplitude dependent speed of sound (AD-SoS), stiffness, quantitative ultrasound index (QUI) (45). In the diagnosis ofosteoporosis, these latter have proved to be more useful in identifying subjects with ...
The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, known as GLP-1R, is a vital component of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and is found primarily on the surfaces of various cell types within the human body. This receptor specifically interacts w
Bone mineral density (BMD) scores (T-score and Z-score) less than -2.5 were accepted as osteoporosis and the scores between -1.5 and -2.5 were accepted as osteopenia. Patients were asked if they had any treatment for bone disorders. Results: Total 25 patients with thalasemi...
There were no differences in the studies for osteoporosis in the femoral neck and trochanter major. In women with lymph edema, T-score at the Ward's triangle demonstrated osteopenia (-1.02). In the group without edema, the T-score at the femoral neck and Ward's tri...
Osteopenia is a pre-osteo-porosis state characterized by a reduction in bone density and an increased risk for osteoporosis. After a baseline test indicated that she had osteopenia, Eve, a 51-year-ol...
The aims of this study were to determine the age structure and average values of BMI in female patients with a diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia, to determine the value of T-score before and aftertherapy, an...
The test is used to assess bone health and detect osteoporosis. The painless ten minute scan measures bone-mineral density in the hip and lower spine and a score between -1 and -2.5 indicates osteopenia while a score of -2...
