How is osteoporosis diagnosed? A painful way to be diagnosed with osteoporosis
is suffering with a fractured bone. The
painless way is to have a bone density test.
A Bone Density test is recommended for women 65 and older, men 70 and
older. If a person has risk factors,
then a bone density test is recommended at a younger age. Talk to your doctor about your risk factors
and get tested when appropriate. The National Osteoporosis Foundation shares information at http://www.nof.org/learn/detection
