The standard unit of measurement is T score which compares your bone density with that of a healthy young woman. A T-score is within the normal range if it is -1.0 or above. A negative number means you have thinner bones than average. It can later on be converted into percentages.

What is a density test?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Bone density - Wikipedia".It's a test for quantitative measurement of the mineral content of bone, used as an indicator of the structural strength of the bone and as a screen for osteoporosis.
Type of connective tissue that is classified as compact or spongy?
Bone tissue can be either spongey or compact. Compact bone is found on the walls of the shaft of bones while Spongey bone is found at the ends of the bone where joints are made.
What tissue has a matrix that contains collagen and mineral salts?
Bone is not connective tissue. Instead, connective tissue -- ligaments and tendons -- connect to the bone.
Ligaments and tendons are connective tissue that work with bones What job does each perform?
Ligaments connect bone to bone. Tendons attach muscle to bone.
Is bone china mugs good insulators?
"Insulator" as in electrically resistant material ? No. Bone ash was once tested as part of an experiment to increase the magnitude of a light bulb's output : it passed the test , but the fumes were such that it was not recommended to continue using it. Bone China is made of Bone Ash : Dry bone is piezoelectric.
Is there a bone density percentage chart?
Yes
What is the average bone density of an adult male?
I perform bone density testing. I was wondering what male age group is compared to a man's bone density when done on a DEXA machine. For women, the compared database is a 30 year old female. I am not sure of the man's age group.
What is a healthy bone mass percentage?
A healthy bone mass percentage is typically around 3-5% higher than the average for someone of the same age and gender. This can vary based on factors such as age, gender, and body composition. Maintaining a healthy bone mass percentage is important for overall bone strength and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
What is the medical term meaning thinner-than-average bone density in a person who does not yet have osteoporosis?
The medical term for thinner-than-average bone density in a person who does not yet have osteoporosis is "osteopenia." It indicates a lower bone mass than normal, which can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis in the future. Osteopenia is often identified through bone density tests and may prompt lifestyle changes or treatments to improve bone health.
How can I get my bone density score checked?
If you want to get your bone density score checked out you should go see specialist. Have your doctor refer you to a bone specialist to do a bone density test on you.
What is known as decrease in bone density?
Osteoporosis is the name for low bone density.
Can you have good bone density but yet have arthritis?
No, it shows the density of the bone, People that have arthritis however are often more likely to get bone density problems because of the drugs they have to use to control the disease and often restrictions in their lifestyle may also make them more prone to bone density problems.
What does photon absorptiometry measure?
Photon absorptiometry measures bone mineral density by using a beam of photons that is passed through the bone to assess its density. This method is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis and monitor changes in bone density over time.
The weight and density of a person's bone structure determines?
The weight and density of a person's bone structure determines their overall bone strength and susceptibility to fractures. Higher bone density is generally associated with stronger bones and lower risk of osteoporosis. Genetics, age, diet, and physical activity can all influence bone density.
What type of diagnostic testing is a definitive test for osteoporosis?
Ultrasonic bone density testingUltrasound and CT Scans are typically ised to check for this condition.
What is an unremarkable bone density test?
Unremarkable in medical terms means all was well. An unremarkable bone density test means there was no sign of bone density problems.
What is the bone density of cow bone?
The density of cow bone will vary from cow to cow, but has been recorded in ranges from 1.24 - 1.71 g/cm^3
