Misinterpretation of osteodensitometry with high bone density: BMD Z > or = + 2.5 is not "normal".

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry - 1 Jan 2005

Whyte Michael P

Abstract excerpt

Osteodensitometry is increasingly used to identify low bone density resulting from osteoporosis. The universally accepted World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for assessing bone mineral density (BMD) contrasts individual T-scores to peak BMD in healthy adult control populations. In this scheme, "osteoporosis" refers arbitrarily to T-values below -2.5, "osteopenia" to values between -1.0 and -2.5, and "normal"...
