Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan)

- • T-score ≥ -1.0: Normal bone density
- • T-score -1.0 to -2.5: Osteopenia (low bone mass)
- • T-score ≤ -2.5: Osteoporosis

⚠️ Medical Disclaimer
This calculator provides a general risk assessment based on known osteoporosis risk factors. It is not a diagnostic tool. Only a DEXA bone density scan can diagnose osteoporosis. Consult with your healthcare provider about your bone health, especially if you have multiple risk factors or have experienced fractures. Supplement recommendations should be discussed with your doctor, particularly if you take medications or have kidney disease.
