Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis: LoÃng xơng (LX) là một
bệnh chuyển hoá xơng, đợc đặc
trng bởi khối lợng xơng thấp tới
mức làm xơng giòn và dẫn tới
nguy cơ gÃy xơng

Garvan Institute of Medical Research
Bone Mineral Density
• Measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(DXA)
• Bone mineral density, BMD (g/cm2) = BMC / Area
• Bone mineral content, BMC (g)
• Region of interest: Area (cm2)
– Femoral neck
– Lumbar spine
– Total body

BMD T-score
• T-score: the number of standard deviations (SD)
from the young normal mean
• Young normal mean: mean BMD of women aged
between 18 and 30 yrs
• SD: standard deviation of BMD in women aged
between 18 and 30 yrs
Garvan Institute of Medical Research
BMD T-score
• T-scores = (BMD of an individual – YN) / SD
• Example:
– Mrs Trang, 70 years old, has a femoral neck BMD of 0.68
g/cm2.
– The mean BMD of Vietnamese women aged 18-30 yrs is
1.00 g/cm2
– The SD of BMD in Vietnamese women aged 18-30 yrs is
0.12 g/cm2
– Mrs Trang’s T-score is:
T = (0.68 – 1.00) / 0.12 = -2.66
Garvan Institute of Medical Research
BMD Z-score
• Z-score: the number of SDs from the mean BMD
of age-matched individuals
• Z-score = (BMD of an individual – BMD of all
individuals in her age) / SD
Garvan Institute of Medical Research
BMD Z-score
• Example:
– Mrs Trang, 70 years old, has a femoral neck BMD
of 0.68 g/cm2.
– The mean BMD of Vietnamese women 70 yrs is
0.80 g/cm2
– The SD of BMD in Vietnamese women 70 yrs is
0.10 g/cm2
– Mrs Trang’s T-score is:
T = (0.68 – 0.80) / 0.10 = -1.20

Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis:
Osteopenia:
T-score < -2.5
-2.5 < T-scores < -1
Normal: T-scores > -1
