Results:
1. Lumbar spine (L1-L4)
Bone mineral density: 0.777gm/cm2
Z score: -1.6
Age matched: 82%
2. left femoral neck
Bone mineral density: 0.577gm/cm2
Z score: -1.6
Age matched: 77%
Fracture rick: overall near-term fracture risk is low
Interpretation: These results show the z-scores are with in the expected range for age.
Comments: General treatment measures including 1200-1500mg/day, vitamin D800-1000 IU/day. And a weight-bearing exercise program should be recommended or continued unless otherwise contraindicated. Vitamin D supplements maybe optimized by measuring a 25-hydorxyvitamin D level. Preventive treatment with an anti-resorptive medication must be determined on a case by case basis. Reassessment advised as future clinical risk factors dictate (consider comparison at time of menopause, as her T-score in the humbar spine is current at -2.5 and the left femoral neck is -2.4)
