Bone mineral density (BMD) of the total hip is a better predictor of most osteoporotic fractures than either the lumbar spine or particular hip components, Canadian researchers have found. However, ...
The overall rates of BMD testing in this study were very low. Physicians did consider some risk factors (age, race, and weight) when deciding about whom to screen but did not include others (smoking, ...
Dear Doctors: I just turned 65, and my doctor wants me to have a bone density test. What is it, and how does it work? Dear Reader: A bone mineral density test, or BMD, measures the strength of one’s ...

Objective: Bone mineral density (BMD) testing is a key tool used to diagnose and treat osteoporosis. We assessed the rate of scheduling BMD tests among health plan members at risk for osteoporosis who ...
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Repeat bone mineral density (BMD) testing up to 8 years after the initial test does not improve the ability of doctors to predict fractures in older women, research hints.
To determine bone mineral density (BMD) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, factors associated with undergoing BMD testing, and the effect of PsA clinical activity on BMD. Patients attending the ...
