      <p> Assessment:</p> 
      <ul> 
        <li> The Spine L1-L4 BMD is normal.</li> 
        <li> The Left Femur Neck BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2.</li> 
        <li> The Left Femur Total BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2.</li> 
        <li> The Right Femur Neck BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about 2.</li> 
        <li> The Right Femur Total BMD is in the osteopenic range. Relative fracture risk is about
           2.</li>

      <p> 
        <b> COMMENT</b> 
      </p> 
      <p> Osteopenia on measured BMD. The estimated 10-year probability of fracture based on present
         age, gender and measured BMD is less than 10%. This absolute fracture risk remains low.
         A follow-up assessment may be considered in 2 to 3 years to monitor the trend in BMD.</p> 
      <p> Thank you for your referral.  Dr Henry Seven  17/06/2008</p>

Note:
WHO classification of osteoporosis (WHO Technical Report Series 1994: 843)
- Normal: T-score equal to -1.0 s.d. or higher
- Osteopenia: T-score  between -1.0 and -2.5 s.d.
- Osteoporosis: T-score equal to -2.5 s.d. or lower
- Severe/Established osteoporosis: Osteoporosis with one or more fragility fracture.
T-score: The number of s.d. from the mean BMD for a gender-matched young adult population.
Z-score: The number of s.d. from the mean BMD for an age-, weight- and gender-matched
         population.
