Do you know your...Blood pressure? Cholesterol level? Weight? T-score?
That's right, T-score. If you had to think twice about what a T-score is - and no, it's not a golf term - chances are you are not alone.
"Fit to a T" is the USBJD's response to the Surgeon General's first-ever report on bone health and osteoporosis. In partnership with the Public Library Association and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine this education program is called "Fit to a T" because the T-score is the measure of a person's bone density and susceptibility to fragility fracture.
