Description

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
