OVERVIEW
Osteoporosis us a metabolic disease in which bone deminerazation results in decreased density and subsquent fractures. The wrist, hip, and vertebral column are most often affected.
The World Health Organization has developed a standart for osteoporosis diagnosis base on -bone mineral density (BMD) value using T-scores. A T-score is the number of stard deviations above or below the average BMD. Low bone mass (osteopenia) is present when T-score is between -1 and -2.5. Osteoporosis is posmenopausal women is defined as a BMD T-score at or below -2.5(Ott, 1999).
