History and Osteoporosis Risk Factors
|
This
patient is a 55 year old postmenopausal woman who has experienced
no known fragility fractures since age 45. According to a
standardized questionnaire, this patient reports the following
risk factors for osteoporosis and/or fractures: no vitamin D
supplementation, low calcium intake, post-menopausal status and
body weight less than 127 lbs. |
Current and Past Treatment |
This
patient reports no current intake of medications or supplements
known to benefit skeletal health. No past treatments for
osteoporosis were reported. |

The technical quality of the
spine image has been designated good.The technical quality of
the left hip image has been designated good. |
1Based
on internationally accepted standards, the T-scores are now
calculated by comparing the patient’s bone density(BMD) to a
database of normal, white adults (age 25-30) of
the same gender. Results are reported as standard deviations
from the mean BMD. 2Z-scores compare the patient's
BMD to his or her age-matched peers of the same ethnicity if a
sufficiently large ethnic database is available,( ie if
ethnicity is white, black, or Hispanic). For other ethnic
groups, a white, age-matched database is used for comparison. |
|
Diagnosis |
According to diagnostic criteria established by the World Health
Organization, these results indicate Low Bone Mass
(osteopenia) in at least one skeletal site. |
Comparison to Prior Studies |
Bone
density decreased significantly by 8.0% in the total PA spine
between 12/20/2011 and 12/31/2013. The bone density in the total
left hip was stable between 12/20/2011 and 12/31/2013. |
