Your bone density test results are reported using T-scores.

  • A T-score shows how much your bone density is higher or lower than the bone density of a healthy 30-year old adult.
  • A T-score of -1.0 or above is normal bone density.
  • A T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 means you have low bone density or osteopenia.
  • A T-score of -2.5 or below is a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
