While at Costco today, I had a bone density test where I put my heel in a machine. They told me that I had a estimated heel BMD of 0.829 and a T-score of +2.2 compared to a 30 year old.
I know that is a very good score meaning I have a very low risk for getting osteoporosis but I don't know anything else. The tech was surprised because of my age (52) that I had such a good score. I do not take any calcium suppliments but love a good, cold glass of milk now and then. I am thinking it is because I drank so much milk as a child.
Does anyone know what this score means?
