This was a really good read, thank you!

Still, there are some things I don't understand.

I'm 30 years old, my T-score shows osteoporosis everywhere (spine, femoral neck, hips)
and my Z-score is much lower than normal for my age group ( I think it goes without saying, because the T-score itself compares my bones to a person on the peak their bone density i.e. around 30?)
