may have relatively small BMD values. This needs to be taken into account when using age as a comparative index. In order to help interpret the calculated Z-score, it may be useful to review a child's ...

Erasmus University Medical Center researchers in Rotterdam have tracked vitamin D supplementation improvements in bone ...

The predicted average BMD at 25 years of age was 1.02 g/cm² (z-score, -0.20) at the FN and 1.16 g/cm² (z-score, -0.51) at the LS. Bone mineral density declined annually by -0.008 g/cm²/year at the FN ...

hip and lumbar spine with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the BMD Z-score was calculated for each region taking into account age- and sex-matched reference data. Student's unpaired t-tests ...

Z score prediction model for assessment of bone mineral content ... Regional and total body bone mineral content, bone mineral density, and total body tissue composition in children 8-16 years of age.

Physicians typically measure two areas—the spine and hip—and then compare your actual bone density to the density your bones should ... Note: You might see a Z-score on your report, but it is not a ...

A Z-score of 0 means that your bone density is at a level expected for your age and sex. This means a secondary cause is unlikely; however, the T-score still indicates osteoporosis. Four months ...

Intention-to-treat (ITT) and completers analyses were performed. Results Randomised groups did not differ for age, body mass index or BMD Z-scores at baseline. For ITT analysis, spine and femoral neck ...

Perinatally-acquired HIV was associated with whole body and lumbar spine bone mineral density deficits and slower bone area accrual among children and adolescents. Compromised bone health is an ...
