Methods For Estimating Bone Mineral Density Definition Of Osteoporosis Osteoporosis Is A Systemic Skeletal Disease Characterized By Low Bone Mass And Micro Architectural Deterioration Of Bone Tissue With A Consequent Increase In Bone Fragility And Susceptibility To Fracture Etiology  Decreased Bone Mineral Density Is A Result Of A Combination Of Genetic And Environmental Factors That Affect Both Peak Bone Mass And The Rate Of Bone Loss  These Factors Include Medications Diet Race Sex Lifestyle And Physical Activity HOW IS BONE DENSITY USEFUL  Bone Density Is Essential For Diagnosis Of Osteoporosis  Low Bone Mass Defines Osteoporosis  We Have To Measure It For A Direct Diagnosis Of Osteoporosis  Poor Architecture Would Also Suffice For Diagnosis But We Have No Diagnostic Tool Available To Accurately Assess It In Vivo  It Is Important To Look For The Etiology Of The Disease Frequency  Approximately 10 Million People Have Osteoporosis Another 14 18 Million Have
