Bone Density Testing

Bone density needs to be checked regularly, just like any other health factor
You can’t see or feel your bones getting thinner
Bone loss can begin from mid-30’s and progress slowly, undetected for many years until a fracture occurs
In Australia 1 in 3 people over age 20 have low bone density
2 out of 3 people aged over 50 have poor skeletal health
Men are at risk too about 30% of all fragility fractures in people over 50 are in men
Osteoporosis does not happen suddenly at age 70
Osteoporosis is not curable, but it’s largely preventable
Knowing your bone density early provides more time and information to reduce risk as you age.
