Abstract
The issue of establishing a high threshold for BMD was investigated thoroughly and the current literature was reviewed. Despite the fact there is agreement that all BMD values greater than T-score -1.0 are not normal, it was felt that because of the paucity of sensitivity data and confounding factors such as high body mass index, an upper threshold could not be established or recommended at this time. This was felt to be an important area for further research.
