A clear starting point.
Osteoporosis weakens bones and can increase fracture risk. Assessment considers your history, risk factors and whether a bone-density test is appropriate. Management is individual and may include nutrition, safe activity, fall prevention and medicines.
What you can discuss
- Bone health and fracture-risk assessment
- Discussion of bone-density testing
- Individual prevention and treatment advice
Make your consultation useful
Make bone health part of the conversation.
- Bring previous bone-density reports, if you have them.
- Share a history of fractures, falls, medical conditions and current medicines.
- Ask whether further assessment and a personal bone-health plan are appropriate.
