A bone densitometry score, often expressed as a T-score, is used to assess your bone health and your risk of fractures. It compares your bone density with that of a healthy young adult of your same sex. Here’s what your T-score means:
A T-score of -1 and above is considered normal.
A T-score between -1 and -2.5 indicates low bone mass, or osteopenia, which means your bones are weaker than normal but not weak enough to be classified as osteoporosis.
A T-score of -2.5 and below is diagnosed as osteoporosis, a condition where bones are weak and more likely to break.
Given your T-score of -1.9 in the neck (presumably of the femur, which is a common site for measurement), it indicates that you have osteopenia. This means your bone density is below normal and you’re at increased risk of fractures, but you haven’t reached the threshold for osteoporosis.
It’s important to discuss your results with your healthcare provider, who can give you personalized advice on how to protect your bone health, possibly including lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or medications to strengthen your bones and prevent further bone loss.
