Hi @Sarnicad from what I understand (and I'm not a medical professional), it's plotting your bone density against the averages for someone your age. The first scan won't tell you much as it's your starting number. You should be asked to have another scan in 18 months. It will plot a new number on the graph. This will then show if you are losing bone density and at what rate. It will provide a better picture of how your bones will cope over time.
