What Does Bone Density As +2.5 T Score Suggest?
I just received my first bone density test. I see from the legend -2.5 t score is an indication of osteoporosis...but my results came back +2.5 t score...what does this mean? The legend says normal for my age (48/F) is -1 and +1 is considered high. should I have concern or rejoice that I simply have good strong bones?

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
+2.5 t means a very good score and a thing you should be really proud about.
At your age the scores are in negative points in general,meaning weak bones. But you seem to be an exception.
Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
