A member asked:

Anyway for the doctor to tell from exam and age or do i need a special test for osteoporosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

DEXA: The best test for osteoporosis is a DEXA or bone density scan. It is a simple and non painful test. It should be done similar to the timing of mammograms so early bone loss can be found and potentially treated before osteoporosis even occurs.
