Executive Summary of the 2023 Adult Position Development Conference of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry: DXA Reporting, Follow-up BMD Testing and Trabecular Bone Score Application and Reporting

Project scope note. Project scope for this case: ISCD 2023 Adult Official Positions densitometry reporting — T-scores vs Z-scores in men under 50 (also LSC, TBS age floor, VFA indications).

Study design and applicability are separate. A rigorous design in an unmatched population is not “strong evidence” for this record.

Bibliographic identity (not medical verification)

Status: Bibliographic identity verified (identifier match only). Identifier resolution proves bibliographic identity only; it does not prove that the card summary supports any medical claim, and it is not clinician review. Semantic verification count remains 0 for the catalog.

Applicability / quality notes

Peer-reviewed executive summary of the 2023 ISCD Adult Position Development Conference (Shuhart et al., J Clin Densitom; doi 10.1016/j.jocd.2023.101435). Society positions page also at iscd.org/official-positions-2023/. Core densitometry rules used here: Z-scores preferred in males <50; osteoporosis not diagnosed by BMD alone under age 50; each DXA facility should determine its precision error and calculate the LSC (manufacturer LSC not a substitute); TBS is appropriate in adults aged ≥40 years (male fracture-risk evidence primarily studied above age 50); VFA has formal indication criteria — low BMD/young age alone is not a VFA indication without other triggers.

Record overlap notes (research). markedly low BMD for age (~38); lumbar T-scores to -4.3; forearm -3.3
