Background: The purpose of this study was to calculate the measurement uncertainty of the process of bone mineral density (BMD) analysis using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry with traceability. Methods: Between March 2015 and October 2016, among healthy participants in their 20s and 30s, the study included those who had not taken calcium, vitamin D supplements and steroids and were without a history of osteoporosis, osteopenia and diseases related to osteoporosis. Relational expression of the model was established based on Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurements and Eurachem and the uncertainty from each factor was evaluated. Results: The combined standard uncertainty was 0.015, while the expanded uncertainty was 0.0298. The factor-specific standard uncertainties that occurred in the process of measuring BMD were 0.72% for the calibration curve, 0.9% for the internal quality control (IQC) using Aluminum Spine Phantom, 0.58% for European Spine Phantom (ESP), and 0.9% for the inspector precision (IP). Conclusions: The combined standard uncertainty of the spine BMD corrected with ESP was 0.015 when measured at one time and targeting one participant. The uncertainties of the accuracy of the IQC and the IP were higher than that of the other factors. Therefore, there will be a need for establishment of protocols to lower these uncertainties.
