Did you see the Part I of this lecture? Usefulness of BMD Testing BMD measurement can be used to1: - Establish or confirm a diagnosis of osteoporosis - Predict future fracture risk - 1 SD decrease in hip BMD is associated with a 2.6-fold increase in risk of hip fracture2 - 1 SD decrease in spine BMD is associated with a 2.3-fold increase in risk of spine fracture3 - Monitor changes in BMD - Assess response to therapy |
