Osteoporosis Risk Assessment Test by Personal Screening from £35.88

Osteoporosis Risk Assessment Test will not diagnose osteoporosis, rather it can help identify if you are losing more bone than is considered normal. The test is not meant to be used instead of a DXA bone scan, but it can help identify if you may be at risk of osteoporosis. Easy to use.

Osteoporosis, or brittle bone disease, can affect men and women of any age. Women over the age of 40 are more prone to the onset of the diseas than other groups. Osteoporosis is caused by a loss of bone density. Early diagnosis can prevent the diseas from deteriorating, however, diagnosis can only be effectively made using a DXA bone scan. The disease is preventable and treatable if detected sufficiently early.

Every person loses a certain amount of bone each day. The body compensates for this by making more new bone. As the body loses bone a specific marker is released into the urine. By measuring this marker you can detect if too much bone is being lost. The test is not meant to be used instead of a DXA scan, but it can identify if you may be at risk of osteoporosis. There are of course several risk factors to consider such as: smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, small bone structure, post or early menopausal status, lack of exercise, family history of osteoporosis, use of steroid medication.
