give a chart if possible.

In BMD test results, bones are compared to the bones of an average young adult. A score (called a T-score) is calculated that describes the density of the bones (usually at the spine and hip) and tells how strong the bones are compared to this average.

The T-score is expressed in units referred to as 鈥渟tandard deviations鈥?(SDs). These SD units tell us how far one differs (or deviate) from what is considered normal for a young adult.

鈥淏elow normal鈥?is always indicated with a minus (-) sign. According to World Health Organization (WHO) classifications, a T-score below 鈥?.5 SDs indicates osteoporosis and a score between 鈥? and 鈥?.5 SDs indicates 鈥渙steopenia鈥?or low bone density. Normal bone density is no more than 1 SD below the young adult normal value.
