AB  - Osteoporotic  fractures  are  increasing  as  the  population  ages.  Age  and  female  sex  are  major  risk  factors  for  osteoporotic  fractures.  Hip  and  vertebral  fractures  are  associated  with  premature  mortality.  Osteoporosis  risk  is  assessed  by  measuring  bone  mineral  density  (BMD).  See  also  Chapter  26-16.  Normal  BMD  is  no  lower  than  1.0  standard  deviation  below  the  mean  for  young  adult  women  (T  score).  Osteopenia  is  defined  as  BMD  between  1.0  and  2.5  standard  deviations  below  the  mean  for  young  adults  (T  score  of  –1.0  to  –2.5),  and  osteoporosis  is  defined  as  a  BMD  more  than  2.5  standard  deviations  below  the  young  adult  mean  (T  score  below  –2.5).  Severe  osteoporosis  is  defined  as  either  a  T  score  below  –2.5  with  a  fracture  or  a  T  score  below  –3.5.
