Question

Marie is 55 years old and just had her first DXA assessment. The results indicated that she has a T-score of -1.5 (minus 1.5). What does her T-score indicate?
She has osteoporosis.
Her bone density is normal.
She has low bone mass.
Nothing, because DXA is not able to determine bone density in women over 50.

Answer 1

Maria having a T-score of -1.5 (minus 1.5) indicates that she has low bone mass and is denoted as option C.

What is T-score?

This is gotten by comparing an individual's DXA(bone density scan) with that of a healthy young adult woman.

A T-score of -1.5 means the individual has a low bone mass while T-score of −2.5 or lower indicates osteoporosis.
