Healthy bone density levels are essential, as having less-dense bones can increase the risk of fractures. There is a strong ...

One disorder characterized by increased bone density with largely normal bone is an autosomal dominant disease with variable clinical features, including entrapment neuropathies, increased levels ...

The T-score compares a patient's bone density with the average value of a healthy young person, so a T-score of +1 represents a value of 1 SD above the young normal mean, whereas a value of 2.5 ...

A T score of minus one and higher is normal, Templeton says. "Osteopenia (bone mass lower than normal peak bone mass) is below minus one to minus 2.5.Lower than minus 2.5 is osteoporosis." A ...

Although bone mineral density (BMD) testing to screen for osteoporosis (BMD T score, −2.50 or lower) is recommended for women 65 years of age or older, there are few data to guide decisions ...

Some 10 million Americans over age 50 have the weak and brittle bones of osteoporosis — and an additional 44 million have osteopenia (meaning a lower than normal bone density), according to the ...

Low bone density is seen in patients with osteomalacia, even when their bone volume is normal. Many CKD patients have been treated with glucocorticosteroids, which also can cause fractures despite ...
