Could you elaborate on the significance of the T score in assessing the severity of osteoporosis? Specifically, I'm curious to know what range of T score values indicate severe osteoporosis. Is there a specific threshold that medical professionals use to classify it as severe? Additionally, how does the T score correlate with bone density and fracture risk in patients with osteoporosis? Is it a reliable indicator in clinical practice? I'm also interested in understanding the potential impact of severe osteoporosis on patients' quality of life and treatment options available.

For individuals with a T-score of -1 or above, it indicates that their bone health is in a normal range.

However, for those with a T-score ranging from -1 to -2.5, they are diagnosed with osteopenia.

Osteopenia is a condition characterized by lower bone mineral density compared to normal but not as severe as osteoporosis.

On the other hand, if a person's T-score falls below -2.5, it suggests the presence of osteoporosis.
