Abstract
In 1995, the Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Metabolism (now the Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Research) established the Osteoporosis Diagnostic Criteria Review Committee. Following discussion held at the 13th scientific meeting of the Society in 1996, the Committee, with the consensus of its members, proposed diagnostic criteria for primary osteoporosis. The Committee revised those criteria in 1998 and again in 2000. The Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Research and Japan Osteoporosis Society Joint Review Committee for the Revision of the Diagnostic Criteria for Primary Osteoporosis aimed at obtaining international consistency and made a revised edition based on the new findings in 2012.

Appendix: BMD standard values from the 2006 revision
Calculations were made based on the findings of the Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Research Committee for the Establishment of BMD Standards. The data necessary for the establishment of these standards was collected in a cross-sectional manner from the results of a DXA study that was carried out from 2004 to 2006 targeting Japanese men and women over the age of 20 years (health screening participants or hospital control). The results are shown below for both men and women, and for the different measurement devices used.
