Bones form the framework of the body, providing support and protection for internal organs, muscles, and tissues. Bones store essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for numerous bodily functions. As the age progresses, our bones naturally lose density and become weaker. Maintaining good bone health can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions associated with ageing. Osteoporosis is more common among older people because bone density decreases as we age. Osteoporosis is known as a "silent disease" because it progresses slowly and usually does not cause symptoms until a bone fracture occurs.
The bone check-up package comprises CBP, FBS, RA factor, serum phosphorus, serum uric acid, serum calcium, CRP, X-ray chest PA view and orthopaedic consultation. Bone health is vital to maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle and reducing the risk of bone-related conditions. We can improve overall health and quality of life by maintaining good bone health.
DEXA is a fast and accurate technique for measuring bone density, also known as bone mass.
It is recommended that individuals over the age of 50, postmenopausal women, those with a family history of osteoporosis, those with a history of fractures, those on medications such as steroids, or those with a medical condition that affects bone health, such as hyperthyroidism or hyperparathyroidism, get a bone health check-up.
No, there are no significant risks associated with a bone checkup package. The tests included in the package are non-invasive and safe.
