This is a question many of my client's ask.
When they get their T score, test results they start to compare with their friend's.
Sometimes they wonder why they're osteoporotic and their friend is osteopenic, Specifically, a T-score between -1 and -2.5 on a DEXA scan signifies osteopenia.
Under -2.5 is osteoporotic and above -1 is considered 'normal' / OK.
Are there any clues in their past?
Well in this podcast I just cover off a short explanation about lifestyle in childhood, adolescence and during 20's to 50's.
Hope you enjoy
