How is the Results Graph interpreted?
On the Results Graph presented to each client, the T-score is indicated by an asterisk (*). The numerical value of the T-score is indicated by numbers running down the right side of the graph. The numbers range from 2 to -4. Areas of white, light gray and dark gray indicate the placement of the T-score in the low, intermediate and high risk categories, respectively. A downward curved Age Regression Line runs across the Results Graph from left to right. This line represents the loss in bone density experienced by the age-matched reference group. Age is indicated by numbers running along the bottom of the graph. The numbers range from 20 to 100. A person matching the age-matched reference model, the vertical position of the T-score will correspond to the vertical position of the Age Regression Line at the point directly above the patient’s age as indicated on the bottom of the graph. A person at lower risk than the age-matched reference model, the T-score will fall above this point. Conv
