A member asked:
What would cause a spinal t-score of -6.0 in a 28 yr old female? im really scared of my osteoporosis diagnoses! help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low LS T-score: A lumbar spine T-score of -6.0 is extremely low, but is difficult to interpret before menopause because the scoring system was designed for postmenopausal women. Young women with a family history of osteoporosis and/or with anorexia nervosa can have T-scores this low. Fortunately, peak (highest) bone mass is not reached until your early 30s, so your bone density can improve with weight gain.
