My Bone Mass Density Test T-score is -3.8. Calcium is above range of 10.8. Why I'm having Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a progressive metabolic bone disease that decreases bone density (bone mass per unit volume), with deterioration of bone structure. Skeletal weakness leads to fractures with minor or inapparent trauma, particularly in the thoracic and lumbar spine, wrist, and hip. Acute or chronic back pain is common. Diagnosis is by dual-energy x鈥憆ay absorptiometry. Prevention and treatment involve Ca and vitamin D supplements, exercises to maximize bone and muscle strength and minimize the risk of falls, and drug therapy to preserve bone mass or stimulate new bone formation. Bone mass or density is lost as people age, especially in women after menopause. The bones lose calcium and other minerals. Please see the web pages for more details on Osteoporosis.
