Women aged 50 and over should consider regular bone density checks in discussion with their GP, to detect osteoporosis early and prevent fractures. Bone density scans, such as a DXA scan, measure bone strength and are crucial for managing bone health effectively.
Early screening helps improve treatment outcomes and maintain mobility and independence. If you have risk factors like menopause, family history, or previous fractures, talk to your GP about getting tested sooner. For most women, starting screening at age 50 to 65 is recommended.
