    Abstract

    A bone mineral density (BMD) T-score at or below −2.5 is considered to be osteoporotic However, the uncertainty of BMD measurement can result in a false positive or a false negative diagnosis. In this study, a Bayesian approach was developed to estimate the probability of having osteoporosis for an individual woman or man based on the individual's BMD measurement
