      <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>
      </ul>
      
      <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>

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.
