Bone density test and its importance

In the first and second part of this article, we will examine the bone density test.... In this article, we are going to examine the results of the bone density test.... **What do the results indicate?** The results of the bone density test are summarized as a **T** or **Z** score. The **T** score is the result of comparing the condition of the bones with the healthy bones of an average young person, and the Z** score is the result of comparing the condition of the bones with the bones of an average person of the same age.. The negative range... normal bone **T** score in people with normal density is between +1 and -1.... People who have this score do not need treatment and it is enough to prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis in the future by taking the necessary measures, including consuming the right amount of calcium and vitamin D, as well as doing weight exercises.... Decrease in bone density (reduction of bone tissue) Low bone density (low bone density) is a modification that health professionals use to define bone density below normal and above the limit defined for osteoporosis. Low bone density is not the same as having osteoporosis, but it is a sign of exposure to it. The T score for this group of people is between -2.4 and -1.1. Fractures are increased. sometimes including medication .... Osteoporosis The **T** score in people with osteoporosis is -2.5 and lower... the larger the numbers in the negative state, the values ​​that indicate it are naturally lower.... Therefore, the score -2.3 indicates a bone density lower than -2.3.... D and calcium and follow-up physical exercises at the same time.... It is worth mentioning that people who have a history of bone fracture (as a result of trauma), regardless of the **T** score, should evaluate the drug for the risk of osteoporosis along with people with "Maple X".. With the help of this tool, it is possible to estimate the probability of fracture despite not having a history of DXA test.. Of course, the inclusion of DXA test results increases the accuracy of predictions.. DXA should be the basis for evaluating physiotherapy using treatment. x.. When, according to a person or his doctor, it is time to measure bone health and the risk of fracture. No.. even if the results of the bone density test show that osteoporosis is not necessary to repeat the test on the date of the two tests.. Assessments and the presence of confounding factors about the risk of fracture... The need for one test. This includes people with osteoporosis who take drugs to prevent extensive bone lesions or stimulate bone growth.. With the help of the results of subsequent tests, the results of the treatment can be evaluated... between -1.990 and unrelated lesions, the DXA test should be repeated at intervals of 3 to 5 years... - In women over 65 years old with a T score between -1.01 and -1.49 (normal and near-normal bone density) who do not have confounding factors related to accelerated bone lesions, the initial DXA test is usually followed up after 10 to 15 years.. Patients who have not been treated but from According to suffering from other medical disorders, they are at risk of aggravating bone lesions.... **Summary** Bone density testing allows health and medical professionals to detect hidden (asymptomatic) bone lesions in people.... These painless, safe and brief tests are a reliable tool to prevent bone fractures in people.... With the help of these tests, treatment results can also be evaluated... > > Performing endoscopy and colonoscopy in the office without bleeding and pain and with the most advanced equipment available > > To schedule an appointment, you can call 38704066 (051) and 38704067 every day... > > Office address: Mashhad, Kausar Blvd., between Kausar 2 and 4 - Farabi Building - 2nd floor **Gastroenterologist in Mashhad** ==================================== **\*Gastroenterologist in Mashhad\***
