@windyshores, I'm curious at your observation of the margin of error on the T-score being .5. I've never seen that reported; I'd like to learn more, can you site a source? .5 is a pretty big margin...

@idlehands so so sorry and thank you for catching that! Here is the correct info. My decimal point was off!

"Small changes in bone mineral density are not significant. Research has shown that at least a 5-6% change on a bone density test is needed to be sure that any change is not simply due to placement on the machine."

I have kept a chart on my DEXA's since 2006 and they jump around wildly. But it should be 5% not .5 !!!!! Apologies to all.
