Country-Specific Young Adult Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Reference Data Are Warranted for T-Score Calculations in Women: Data From the Peak-25 Cohort Mattias Callréus, Fiona McGuigan, Kristina Åkesson Journal of Clinical Densitometry Volume 17, Issue 1, Pages 129-135 (January 2014) DOI: 10.1016/j.jocd.2013.03.008 Copyright © 2014 The International Society for Clinical Densitometry Terms and Conditions
Fig. 1 Normality curves for the distribution of BMD values in FN, TR, TH, and lumbar spine (L1–L4). The mean with 1 SD and 2 SD is marked in each figure. In the graphs, for the hip variables, the bold dashed line represents the NHANES III (The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) mean value, recalculated to a Lunar BMD value (19,20) (FN, 0.989; TR, 0.850; and TH, 1.011). BMD, bone mineral density; DXA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; FN, femoral neck; SD, standard deviation; TH, total hip; TR, trochanter.
