چکیده
• Bone mineral density (BMD) is used as an indicator of osteoporosis. BMD is measured and quantified by T-score, whose units are standard deviations relative to that of young, healthy adults (Young Adult Mean [YAM]). The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) defines osteoporosis as a T-score of -2.5 or lower, i.e., worse. Severe osteoporosis is defined as a T-score of -2.5 or lower, and presence of at least one fragility fracture.1
