Content Summary :

Osteoporosis is a disease where the strength of bones is less than normal, making them more susceptible to fracture, or breaking, than normal bones. Anyone’s bone will break if subjected to enough force, but a bone with osteoporosis may break with very little trauma, or sometimes with no trauma at all. Fractures can cause pain, loss of independence, and shorten your life. The best time to detect osteoporosis is before a fracture happens, and the best way to do that is with a bone density test. The “gold-standard” method of measuring bone density is by DXA (Dual X-ray Absorptiometry) of the spine and hip. If the “T-score” on the DXA test is less than or equal to –2.5, then a diagnosis of osteoporosis may be made.
