Calculate Bone Density Z-Score (Z)





Formula

The formula to calculate the Bone Density Z-Score (Z) is:

Z=Dμσ

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the measured bone density (D) is 1.2 g/cm², the population mean bone density (μ) is 1.0 g/cm², and the standard deviation (σ) is 0.1 g/cm². Using the formula:

Z=1.21.00.1=2

So, the Z-Score is 2.
