Bone Density Scan Results: What They Mean for Your Risk of Fracture and OsteoporosisA bone density scan, or DEXA scan, evaluates bone health to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk. Results are given as T-scores and Z-scores, with a T-score below -2.5 indicating osteoporosis. Understanding these scores and addressing low bone density early can help prevent fractures, chronic pain, and loss of mobility.…A bone density scan, or DEXA scan, evaluates bone health to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk. Results are given as T-scores and Z-scores, with a T-score below -2.5 indicating osteoporosis. Understanding these scores and addressing low bone density early can help prevent fractures, chronic pain, and loss of mobility. Regular exercise, a calcium-rich diet, and medical intervention are crucial for managing bone health. Learn what your bone density results mean, the risks involved, and how to improve bone density through lifestyle changes and treatment.
