| bone mineral density |
A bone mineral density (BMD) test, also called a bone mass measurement, is used to measure bone density and determine fracture risk for osteoporosis. It may also be used to determine how effective an osteoperosis treatment is. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends BMD testing for the following individuals:*All women aged 65 and older regardless of risk factors*Younger postmenopausal women with one or more risk factors (other than being white, postmenopausal and female). ...

| bone mineral density |
a term used in quantifying the mineralization of bone. The mineral component of bone consists largely of calcium and phosphorus. BMD is possitively associated with bone strength and resistance to fracture. BMD can be determined through a low radiation X-ray technique known as DEXA.

A risk factor for fractures. Usually expressed as the amount of mineralized tissue in the area scanned (g/cm2); with some technologies, expressed as the amount per volume of bone (g/cm3). Hip BMD, considered the best predictor of hip fracture, appears to predict other types of fractures as well as measurements made at other skeletal sites. Spine BMD may be preferable to assess changes early in menopause and after bilateral ovariectomy.
