Research Article: Pediatric densitometry: is the Z score adjustment necessary in all cases?

Date Published: 2025-04-09

Abstract:
Background: The International Society for Clinical Densitometry recommends adjusting the bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score in children with short stature or growth delay. However, it is not clear whether height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) adjustment is required in all children. The aim of this study was to determine whether HAZ adjustment is necessary by examining variability in unadjusted and adjusted Z-scores for the main regions of interest in a large pediatric cohort.
