Have you had a bone density scan lately?

For World Osteoporosis Day, we’d like to remind you that knowledge is power, and it’s never too early or late to learn the status of your bone health.

This has been true for our CEO -- "Almost four years ago, I had my second dexa scan and got the news that I have learned is typical: in the five years after menopause, my bone density went from normal to osteopenia..."

Bisphosphonates are typically the first treatment for osteopenia, and the most commonly prescribed medication for the condition.

If you're initially at very high risk for fracture and remain at high risk, you might keep taking one of these medications for up to 10 years.

Learn more about bisphosphonates in our article, "Osteopenia Medications."

For many people, osteoporosis is an invisible disease and getting a DXA scan is the only way to determine whether your bone density is low.

That said, there are 2 visible signs that you or someone you know might have osteoporosis:

* Loss of height by 4cm or more
* Stooped or hunched posture with a forward, rounded upper back

If you have noticed these changes in yourself or someone else, it may be worth a visit to the doctor to determine if you or your loved one has osteoporosis.
