When to start vs delay prescription meds for osteoporosis

I thought 2.5 and above denotes osteoporosis . At 2.3 wouldn’t you be osteopenia? Drs still want to introduce meds? Please advise

@ipg It's my understanding that the numbers you quoted are correct, but the PA that I saw in July said that with me already having a rib fracture 4 years ago pushes me from osteopenia to osteoporosis. I will see if the endocrinologist tells me the same thing when I see her. if you go by just my T-scores, it's osteopenia.
