Who should receive bone mineral density testing?
Evidence A study of 860 postmenopausal Asian women examined 11 risk factors to predict osteoporosis1: • Multiple risk factors had minimal value over age and weight alone. • The OST was developed based on weight and age. Eight systematic reviews were conducted from 2007 to 2015, with up to 108 studies and 208 738 patients evaluating more than 9 tools to assess the risk of osteoporosis or fractur...
متن کاملBone density testing in clinical practice.
The diagnosis of osteoporosis and monitoring of treatment is a challenge for physicians due to the large number of available tests and complexities of interpretation. Bone mineral density (BMD) testing is a non-invasive measurement to assess skeletal health. The "gold-standard" technology for diagnosis and monitoring is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the spine, hip, or forearm. Fract...

متن کاملBone-density testing interval and transition to osteoporosis.
BACKGROUND Although bone mineral density (BMD) testing to screen for osteoporosis (BMD T score, -2.50 or lower) is recommended for women 65 years of age or older, there are few data to guide decisions about the interval between BMD tests. METHODS We studied 4957 women, 67 years of age or older, with normal BMD (T score at the femoral neck and total hip, -1.00 or higher) or osteopenia (T score...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals and Hypothesis Testing.∗
If you have just two discrete hypotheses, then a hypothesis test is simply an application of Bayes’ Theorem. You check to see whether your data can reasonably be explained by that boring old null hypothesis (conventionally called H0), or not. To test H0, you need to compare it to one other model. One never tests a hypothesis in isolation; it is tested against an alternative (typically called H1...
