DXA diagnosis by sex, age group, and trauma mechanism

	Normal T-score ≥  − 1	Osteopenia T-score − 2.5 to − 1	Osteoporosis T-score ≤  − 2.5
Sex
Women n = 76	9 (12%)	41 (54%)	26 (34%)
Men n = 108	13 (12%)	64 (60%)	31 (29%)
Age groups
25–29 n = 1	0	1 (100%)	0
30–34 n = 6	0	4 (67%)	2 (33%)
35–39 n = 11	0	10 (91%)	1 (9%)
40–44 n = 15	2 (13%)	8 (53%)	5 (33%)
45–49 n = 26	7 (27%)	13 (50%)	6 (23%)
50–54 n = 51	3 (6%)	31 (61%)	17 (33%)
55–59 n = 74	10 (14%)	38 (51%)	26 (35%)
Trauma mechanism
Low-energy trauma n = 120	12 (10%)	65 (54%)	43 (36%)
Not low-energy trauma n = 64	10 (16%)	40 (63%)	14 (22%)
Total
n = 184	22 (12%)	105 (57%)	57 (31%)

Diagnosis based on the lowest T-score on the lumbar spine, femoral neck, or total hip DXA investigation performed at the time of the fracture. Low-energy trauma was defined as a fall from standing or seated position, and any higher degree of trauma energy was classified as not low-energy trauma
