T-SCORE (YOUNG ADULT): -2.7
Z-SCORE (Age matched comparison): -1.5
TOTAL PROXIMAL FEMUR LEFT:
BONE MINERAL DENSITY (gm/cm2): 0.840
T-SCORE (YOUNG ADULT): -1.3
Z-SCORE (Age matched comparison): -0.5
FEMORAL NECK LEFT:

IMPRESSION:
L3 has been excluded in keeping with prior exams. There is osteoporosis of the lumbar spine. Femoral neck measurements indicate a moderate ten year fracture risk (10-20%). There has been a statistically significant decrease in bone density in the lumbar spine of 5.9%. No significant change in the left hip.
