A bone health checkup, also known as a bone density test or osteoporosis screening, is a medical assessment designed to evaluate bone strength and density. An orthopaedic specialist performs it. At Medicover Hospitals, patients learn the critical role bones play in protecting and supporting organs through bone density tests. A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and prompt medical attention, can ensure strong and resilient bones for years to come.

Early Detection of Bone Diseases: Regular checkups can detect bone diseases early, like osteoporosis, osteopenia, and fractures, to prevent further deterioration of bone health.
Prevention of Fractures: Bone evaluations assess fracture risk. Preventative measures include lifestyle changes, diet, and medication.
Monitoring Bone Density: Bone density testing is essential for assessing bone health. It uses a DEXA scan to monitor density changes over time, allowing for effective treatment adjustments.
Identification of Risk Factors: Bone health checkups can uncover risk factors for poor bone health. Addressing these can help prevent bone issues.
Evaluation of Nutritional Status: Bone health checkups assess calcium and vitamin D levels, which are essential for strong bones. Deficiencies increase the risk of bone diseases.

People on osteoporosis medication should have a bone density test every 1-2 years. Women going through menopause may need a bone density test every two years.
Experts recommend that women over the age of 65 get regular bone density tests to screen for osteoporosis, but it is still being determined how often these tests should be repeated.
DEXA scan is the most accurate test for detecting osteoporosis and decreased bone mass. It helps you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your bone health.
Bone fractures can result from traumatic incidents, osteoporosis, and certain types of cancer. These conditions can cause bones to fracture easily, even from minor trauma and falls.
Certain habits or behaviours may have negative consequences on bone health, and it is essential to be aware of them.
