knogletætheden
Knogletætheden, often referred to as bone mineral density (BMD), is a measurement of the amount of calcium and other minerals in a section of bone. It is used to assess the strength of bones and diagnose conditions like osteoporosis. Higher bone density generally indicates stronger bones, while lower bone density suggests that bones are weaker and more prone to fractures.
The most common method for measuring bone density is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This non-invasive procedure
Bone density naturally decreases with age, particularly after menopause in women due to hormonal changes. Factors
Low bone density, or osteopenia, can progress to osteoporosis, a more severe condition characterized by brittle
