Confused About Your DEXA Report? Letβs Decode It!
T-score? Z-score? These numbers may look complicated, but understanding them is key to knowing your bone health.
π What Does a DEXA Report Show?
A DEXA scan gives you two important values:
πΉ T-score β Compares your bone density to a healthy young adult
π This is the main number used to diagnose bone conditions
πΉ Z-score β Compares your bone density to people of your same age and gender
π Helps identify if your bone density is unusually low for your age
β οΈ What Do the Numbers Mean?
β Above -1.0 β Normal bone density
β οΈ Between -1.0 and -2.5 β Osteopenia (low bone density)
π¨ -2.5 or below β Osteoporosis
π‘ Example: A T-score of -3.0 confirms osteoporosis.
π‘ Key Takeaway
π Focus mainly on your T-score for diagnosis
π Z-score gives additional context based on your age
Early detection helps prevent fractures and protect your spine health.
