As indicated by many authors Asian region there is emerging osteoporosis epidemic. T-scores in BMD are used to help diagnose normal bone mass, osteopenia and osteoporosis. A one day on BMD check was carried out in a multicenter hospital using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). 55 subjects voluntarily entered the ‘fight and prevent osteoporosis’ camp. The mean BMD of 55 subjects were screened the mean was 1.94 ±1.04, normal was in the range of 0.65±0.22 in 12 subjects; osteopenic range was 1.60±0.35 in 24 subjects and osteoporotic was 2.54±0.34 and above 3.1 range was 3.51±0.28 in 19 subjects. The above BMD results indicates that the prevalence was osteopenic > osteoporotic > normal in a single day clinic. Keywords: DXA, BMD, CaHA, QUS, pQCT and QCT
