Screening

After an initial screening bone mineral density, optimal intervals to repeat densitometry may be:

• "15 years for women with normal bone density or mild osteopenia (T score, greater than −1.50)"
• "5 years for women with moderate osteopenia (T score, −1.50 to −1.99)"
• "1 year for women with advanced osteopenia (T score, −2.00 to −2.49)"
