Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I finally received my bone density scan results. My results show normal bone density. My overall T-Score was -.4 Normal bone: T-score better than -1. Osteopenia: T-score between -1 and -2.5 Osteoporosis: T-score less than -2.5 Established (severe) osteoporosis includes the presence of a non-traumatic fracture. The T-score is the number of standard deviations below the average for a young adult at peak bone density. Therefore, the average for a young adult at peak bone density is 0. Considering my age, 55, a -.4 is very good. It is important to realize that the T-score alone does not predict fractures, and osteopenia is not a disease. in Pittsburgh AOL now offers free email to everyone.
