A
This woman's T-score is less than 2.5 and indicates osteoporosis. She should begin treatment with a bisphosphonate. Increasing physical activity and taking supplemental calcium and vitamin D are indicated as well but only as part of a medication regimen. Calcitonin is not a first-line medication.
