How to calculate Z score?

kellysuemcclurg
0 Recommendations

I just got my T score result, but she didn't give me a Z score. She says she doesn't have the SW to calculate it. Is there a way to convert my T score to a Z score, which I understand is more meaningful? I'd like to know how I stack up to other women my age.

PS: I'm 53, peri-menopausal, with extreme mal-absorption. Hip T score = -.1 , so far so good?

If you get a physical copy of your dexa exam (ask for it), your Z score will be on it. It won't be something that you have to calculate. Look on the far right of the report.
