@mayblin, Thanks so much for directing my attention away from t-scores to BMD (g/cm squared). There were several figures for REM CV online, but I chose one and multiplied it by 2.77 as recommended. Your positive response about my right femur progress was so helpful. Following are my results:

Right Femur neck 10.9% BMD increase. LSC may be 5.34%
Total Right Hip 13% BMD increase. No LSC but probably similar.
Right Trochanter 12.9% BMD increase. No LSC but probably similar.
Spine 3.5% BMD decrease. LSC may be 3.96%

I am now happy about my right hip results! My spine decrease is not quite significant according to these figures.

The way I understand it, the REMS fragility score measures trabecular bone. That is my weakness and apparently is related to the risk of fracture. BMD measures cortical bone.

Sorry, I think BMD measures the mineral density in both cortical and trabecular bone.
