    measurement of minerals in bones indicating their strength

    Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is a measurement that indicates the amount of minerals, primarily calcium, contained in a specific volume of bone. It is used to assess bone strength and the risk of fractures, with lower BMD values suggesting weaker bones and a higher likelihood of conditions like osteoporosis. BMD is typically measured using techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).
