Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, for which reason I would like to inquire about the standard for pediatric bone density testing.Doctor's answer:
Normal reference values are between -1 and 1. When the T-value is below -2.5, it is considered abnormal. Eat more foods high in calcium, such as milk, dairy products, shrimp skin, kelp, sesame paste, and soy products, which are also rich in calcium. Regular consumption is beneficial for calcium supplementation. Pay attention to your nutritional structure. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's health. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
