Historically speaking, the diagnosis of primary osteoporosis was performed mainly by radiographic methods [1–3]. Recently, bone mineral density (BMD) measurement has become available and in 1994, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed new diagnostic criteria of this disease based on the BMD values [4]. Because the BMD values used in the WHO diagnostic criteria were obtained from Caucasian women, the problem remained whether the same diagnostic criteria apply to Japanese women.Therefore, in 1995, the Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Research established a committee for developing diagnostic criteria based on the BMD data of Japanese women. Members of the committee consist of an internist, orthopedic surgeons, gynecologist, radiologist, pediatrician, and biostatistician interested in osteoporosis. New diagnostic criteria were proposed as a consensus made by the committee at the end of 1995. In 1996, various problems in the 1995 criteria were reviewed by the committee and the final version was established.
