Estimate bone mineral density risk based on age, sex, weight, and height
Bone mineral density is a measure of the density of minerals (such as calcium) in your bones. It is used to diagnose osteoporosis and predict fracture risk. A lower BMD indicates weaker bones.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined osteoporosis based on BMD in postmenopausal women. However, BMD is also relevant for men and premenopausal women as it indicates overall bone health.
Several factors influence BMD, including age, sex, weight, height, and lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. This calculator provides an estimate of BMD risk based on basic demographic and anthropometric data.
| Age | Sex | Weight (kg) | Height (cm) | BMD Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | Female | 60 | 160 | Moderate |
| 70 | Male | 70 | 170 | High |
