Osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease" because bone loss happens without any symptoms until a fracture occurs. As we age, our bones naturally lose density and strength, making bone health screening an essential part of geriatric and post-menopausal care.
Why Screen for Bone Density?
- Early Detection: Identify low bone mass (osteopenia) before it progresses to osteoporosis.
- Fracture Prevention: By knowing your risk, you can take steps like calcium supplementation, Vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercises to strengthen your bones.
- Monitoring Treatment: If you are already on bone-building medication, regular scans help evaluate its effectiveness.
