Background: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the gold standard used for measuring bone mineral density and such readings are currently used to predict osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. However, no similar prediction model has been developed to identify the age that a patient will become osteoporotic based on DEXA scanning.Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a mathematical model to determine the TTO based on two or more DEXA s...
