A member asked:
Is an increase in bone mineral density good or bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To a point...: In general an increase in bone mineral density is a good thing for older adults. There are some unusual conditions (paget's disease) where one can have too much bone. If you have a very bone mineral density already there is probably no an advantage to getting it even higher.
