Bone Health (Osteoporosis) Screening: Strengthen Your Foundation for Life

Your bones are the silent framework of your body, supporting every movement and protecting vital organs. Over time, however, they can lose density and become fragile—a condition known as osteoporosis. Bone health screening is a proactive way to detect early signs of bone loss and prevent fractures before they happen. It’s not just a test—it’s a powerful step toward living a longer, more mobile, and pain-free life.

What Is a Bone Health / Osteoporosis Screening?

A bone health screening, also called a bone density test (DEXA scan), is a painless, non-invasive exam that measures how strong your bones are. The test detects osteopenia (early bone loss) and osteoporosis, a more advanced condition that significantly increases the risk of fractures—especially in the hips, spine, and wrists.

This screening is crucial for women over 50, men over 70, and anyone with risk factors such as family history, low calcium intake, smoking, or long-term corticosteroid use.

What’s Included in a Bone Health Screening?

Risk Assessment & Medical History

• Lifestyle and nutritional evaluation

• Review of risk factors (family history, menopause, medications, smoking, etc.)

• Symptom review (e.g., back pain, loss of height, fractures)

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Test – DEXA Scan

• Gold-standard dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry test

• Measures bone density in key areas: hip, spine, and forearm

• Helps calculate your fracture risk score and guides treatment decisions

Blood & Lab Analysis

• Vitamin D and calcium levels

• Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels

• Bone turnover markers to evaluate how fast your bones are being broken down or rebuilt

• Thyroid and kidney function tests (related to secondary causes of osteoporosis)

Expert Consultation

• Personalized risk evaluation with a rheumatologist or endocrinologist

• Review of scan and lab results with tailored lifestyle and treatment recommendations

• Medication consultation (if needed: bisphosphonates, hormone therapy, supplements)

When Should You Have a Bone Health Screening?

• Women aged 50+ and men aged 70+, especially after menopause or andropause

• Post-fracture: If you’ve had a fracture after age 50, even without a fall

• People with chronic illness: Rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, kidney disease

• Anyone on long-term steroids or cancer therapy

• If you’re losing height or experiencing back pain

Regular screenings every 1–2 years are recommended if you’re at risk or already managing osteoporosis.
