Understanding Bone Density
Learn the fundamentals of bone health and what your results mean
What is Bone Density?
Bone density, or bone mineral density (BMD), measures the amount of calcium and other minerals in your bones. It’s a key indicator of bone strength and fracture risk. DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans are the gold standard for measuring bone density.
T-Score vs Z-Score
T-Score
Compares your bone density to a healthy 30-year-old of the same gender at peak bone mass
Z-Score
Compares your bone density to others of your same age, gender, and ethnicity
Diagnostic Categories
Risk Factors for Low Bone Density
- • Age (especially over 50 for women, 70 for men)
- • Gender (women at higher risk, especially post-menopause)
- • Family history of osteoporosis or fractures
- • Low body weight or small frame
- • Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
- • Certain medications (corticosteroids, anticonvulsants)
- • Medical conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, hyperthyroidism)
When to Get Tested
- • Women 65 and older
- • Men 70 and older
- • Postmenopausal women under 65 with risk factors
- • Men 50-69 with risk factors
- • Adults with fractures after age 50
- • Adults taking medications that affect bone health
