Bone density results
Hi, this is what I received from the doctor yesterday!
I hae osteopenia (between normal and osteoporosis). The reading:
SPINE BMD=0.87 g/cm2
SPINE T score=1.6
SPINE Z score = 0.7
TOTAL HIP BMD -0.75 g/cm2
TOTAL HIP T score=-1.6
TOTAL HIP Z score= -1.0
Femoral neck density 0.71 g/cm2, T-score-1.3.
Sounds greek to me. ??????
