Add to ORKGThe clinical significance of osteoporosis lies in the fractures that arise, but the diagnosis of osteoporosis relies on the quantitative assessment of bone mineral density. There are a number of other indications for bone densitometry including monitoring of treatment, determining the extent of bone loss and assessment of suitability for certain treatments. Most commonly, bone density is used to determine eligibility for treatment. However, diagnostic thresholds differ from intervention thresholds for several reasons. Firstly, the fracture risk varies at different ages, even with the same T-score. Other factors that determine intervention thresholds include the presence of clinical risk factors such as a prior fracture, a family history of ...
