Module 3 Flashcards
Increased fractures because of decreased bone mass and deterioration of the microarchitecture of the bone . A common metabolic disorder
Osteoporosis
When does bone loss begin
After peak bone age
A disease characterized by low bone mass
osteoporosis
What reference data is considered the standard reference for comparison of all bone density measurements
NHANES
This type of primary osteoporosis is an accelerated loss of bone density that occurs in postmenopausal women due to estrogen deficiency
Type One primary osteoporosis
This type is also called senile or age associated primary osteoporosis occurs in both the women and men age 70 year older and results in a long slow loss a bone
Type 2 primary osteoporosis
Primary osteoporosis is associated with
Age
Caused by one or more diseases or conditions
Secondary osteoporosis
For women what percent of bone mass is achieved between age 18 and 20 although different bones peak at different ages
90 to 95%
When does trochanter BMD peak
Mid teens
When does femoral neck BMD peak
Late teens
When does spine BMD peak
Early twenties
The sum of the data values divided by the number of values
Mean value
The distribution of values around their mean
Standard deviation
This is calculated by dividing the standard deviation by the mean
Coefficient of variation
This is used to compare variability between 2 datasets whether or not to have the same mean
Percent CV
Refers to the ability of the system to measure the true value of an object
Accuracy
Refers to the ability of the system to reproduce the same measurement of the same object in repeat measurements
Precision
Blank percent CV indicates better precision
Smaller
Indicates how the patient’s BMD value corresponds to the peak bone mass of a young reference population express as a positive or negative value
T score
Indicates how patients BMD value corresponds to an age and sex matched population
Z score
Process of bone absorption and formation
Bone remodeling
