Bone Mineral Density Trajectory

Meaning

Bone Mineral Density Trajectory describes the longitudinal change and overall pattern of bone density measurement over an individual’s lifespan or during a specific therapeutic period. It is a dynamic clinical indicator that moves beyond a single static measurement, providing insight into the net balance between bone resorption and bone formation. Analyzing this trajectory is fundamental for predicting fracture risk and evaluating the efficacy of hormonal or nutritional interventions aimed at skeletal health.
