A bone mineral density test, sometimes just called a bone density test, detects whether you have osteoporosis, a word that comes from Greek and literally means “porous bone.”
When you have this condition, your bones get weak and thin. They become more likely to break. It’s a silent condition, which means you don’t feel any symptoms. Without a bone density test, you may not realize you have osteoporosis until you break a bone. How the Test Works
The bone density test is painless and quick. It estimates how dense or thick your bones are by using X-rays.
The X-rays measure how much calcium and minerals are in a part of your bone. The more minerals you have, the better. That means your bones are stronger, denser, and less likely to break. The lower your mineral content, the greater your chance of breaking a bone in a fall. Who Should Get Tested
Anyone can get osteoporosis. It’s more common among older women, but men can have it, too. Your chances increase as you age. Recommended it if you meet any of the following:
#You’re a woman 65 or older
#You’re a postmenopausal woman 50 or older
#You’re a woman at the age of menopause and have a high chance for breaking bones
#You’re a woman who has already been through menopause, . #younger than 65, and have other things that give you a higher chance of osteoporosis
#You’re a man 50 or older with other risk factors
#You break a bone after 50
#You’ve lost more than 1.5 inches of your adult height
#Your posture has gotten more hunched
#You’re having back pain without any cause
#Your periods have stopped or are irregular although #you’re neither pregnant nor menopausal
#You’ve gotten an organ transplant.
