Bone Density T-Score Classification
A T-score compares your bone density to a healthy 30-year-old adult.
WHO Categories
Each decrease of 1 in T-score roughly doubles fracture risk.
Example Calculation
A 55-year-old with a T-score of -1.0.
- 01T-score = -1.0 (Osteopenia range starts at -1.0)
- 02Approximate 10-year risk = e^(0.5) x (55/50) x 3 = 1.65 x 1.1 x 3 = 5%
- 03Relative risk = 2^1 = 2.0x baseline
