Osteoporosis Screening

Who should be tested?

• Women age 50, and men 65, or older
• Postmenopausal women (age 50 or greater) after fracture
• Women age 30 and greater with very high risk factors (e.g. hysterectomy, use of steroids, early menopause) to obtain a base-line bone density reading

The test is accurate, quick, non-invasive and painless. You are given the test report on the day, with helpful advice and follow-up support if necessary. Your GP will be notified if medical intervention is needed.
