How do I read my results? The T-score: The âyoung normalâ or T-score indicates how your BMD compares to that of a healthy 30 year-old. Peak bone density is reached by age 30 and should ideally be maintained at this level throughout your life. As BMD decreases from this peak density, fracture risk increases.The T-score is in units of standard deviations (SD) and shows whether your bones are more dense (+) or less dense (-) than those of a 30 year-old. This is the most important value and the one that is used to interpret what your BMD means.s BMD decreases from this peak density, fracture risk increases.
