METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING OSTEOPENIA AND DETERMINING ITS SEVERITY ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a method of determining the severity of diseases such as osteopenia by measuring the concentrations of certain blood constituents and then calculating a bone density coefficient. The blood constituents required for diagnosing osteopenia according to the present invention are calcium, phosphate, estradiol, progesterone, total alkaline phosphatase and an alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme. A bone density-coefficient is calculated using the blood concentrations of these blood constituents. The bone density coefficient can then be used to classify severity of osteopenia in the patient.
