DEXA bone-mineral-density T-score — Baltimore.

Baltimore has run the NIA's Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) since 1958 (Ferrucci L. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2008;63(12):1416-1419) -- one of the longest-running studies of human aging in the world, with over 3,000 participants across its history. A recent BLSA analysis of 1,129 participants found that the rate of muscle-mass decline correlates directly with the rate of bone-density decline (whole-body BMD: rho=0.30, P<0.0001; pelvic BMD: rho=0.24, P<0.0001) -- real evidence that bone and muscle are lost together, not separately, which is exactly why this standard pairs a DEXA result with load-training coaching rather than treating it as an isolated number. Osteoporosis is silent until a fracture, and a hip fracture in later life carries mortality comparable to some cancers.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

DEXA BMD T-scores (spine + hip) with the scan report, compared to WHO/ISCD thresholds and routed to a clinician when in the osteopenia/osteoporosis range

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• DEXA scan appointment
• scan/report printout
• prior BMD for trend if available

Steps

1. 1. Arrange a DEXA BMD scan of spine and hip through a clinic.
2. 2. Capture the T-scores per site with the reference database used.
3. 3. Classify per WHO/ISCD (normal > -1; osteopenia -1 to -2.5; osteoporosis <= -2.5).
4. 4. Note fracture history and major risk factors for the clinician (do not compute FRAX as advice).
5. 5. Attach the report; log T-scores, sites, and classification; route to a clinician if osteopenic/osteoporotic.

What counts as done

• DEXA BMD T-scores for spine and hip with the scan report
• Sites and reference database noted
• T-scores compared to WHO/ISCD thresholds (osteopenia -1 to -2.5; osteoporosis <=-2.5)

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
