Yazdani et al reported several equations related to bone mineral density in women. One equation predicts the T score for the spine. The authors are from Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran.
Patient selection: adult women
Outcome: T score for vertebral bodies
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) weight in kilograms
(3) menopause
(4) parity
predicted T score =
= (-0.016 * (age)) + (0.026 * (weight)) - (0.56 if menopause) - (0.052* (parity)) - 1.93
