ASSESSMENT:
The BMD measured at Femur Total Left is 0.928 g/cm² with a T-score of -0.6. Bone density is up to 10% below young normal.
This patient is considered normal according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.
With a Z-score of -0.1, this patient's BMD is within normal limits for their age and sex, even though bone loss may have occurred.

Normal T-score at or above -1 SD
Osteopenia T-score between -1 and -2.5 SD
Osteoporosis T-score at or below -2.5 SD

RECOMMENDATION:
All patients should ensure an adequate intake of dietary calcium and vitamin D. The NOF recommends adults under age 50 need
1,000 mg of calcium and 400-800 IU of vitamin D daily. Adults 50 and over need 1,200 mg of calcium and 800-1,000 IU of vitamin
D daily. Effective therapies for the prevention of osteoporosis include bisphosphonates (Fosamax and Actonel) and Evista.
Hormone therapy may be an option based on review of risks and benefits of treatment.
