Assessment: The Spine L1-L4 BMD is normal. The Left Femur Neck BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2. The Left Femur Total BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2. The Right Femur Neck BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2. The Right Femur Total BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2.

• The Spine L1-L4 BMD is normal.

• The Left Femur Total BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2.
• The Right Femur Neck BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2.
• The Right Femur Total BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2.

COMMENT Osteopenia on measured BMD. The estimated 10-year probability of fracture based on present age, gender and measured BMD is less than 10%. This absolute fracture risk remains low. A follow-up assessment may be considered in 2 to 3 years to monitor the trend in BMD. Thank you for your referral. Dr Peter Ng 17/06/2008

Note:
WHO classification of osteoporosis (WHO Technical Report Series 1994: 843)
- Normal: T-score equal to -1.0 s.d. or higher
- Osteopenia: T-score  between -1.0 and -2.5 s.d.
- Osteoporosis: T-score equal to -2.5 s.d. or lower
- Severe/Established osteoporosis: Osteoporosis with one or more fragility fracture.
T-score: The number of s.d. from the mean BMD for a gender-matched young adult population.
Z-score: The number of s.d. from the mean BMD for an age-, weight- and gender-matched population.
