The paper deals with the densitometric study of 3000 persons due to 21 to 85 years. It presents the major common risk factors of osteoporosis and osteopenia and the indices of bone mineral density in relation to age, risk factors, and a history of bone fractures. Groups of the examinees were formed according to the history and densitometric data. Based on the findings, the author has substantiated a methodological approach to using X-ray densitometry in the identified groups.
