is generally used as an initial screening test. If results from an ultrasound test indicate that bone density is low, DEXA is recommended to confirm the results.

Low bone density is known as osteopenia. It is the range of bone density between normal bone health and clinically diagnosed osteoporosis. If you are found to have osteopenia your doctor will consult with you to review your health, medications and risk factors to determine the appropriate treatment to support your bone health.

Older women have a much higher fracture rate than younger women with the same bone density because of increasing risk from other factors, such as bone quality and tendency to fall. Osteopenia: Little is known about how best to manage patients with osteopenia (T-scores between ‾1.0 and ‾2.5).

The problem with a fall in bone mass and bone density is that it weakens bone; that is, it is “easier” for people with low bone mass to “break one or more bones”; in fact, low bone mass can give rise to “fragility fractures”; fragility fractures are those due to falling from no higher than the standing position; some people with low ...
