Overview

Bone density is an important measure of bone health. It refers to the amount of mineral (such as calcium and phosphorous) per unit of volume that a particular bone contains. High bone density indicates strong and healthy bones while low bone density indicates weakened bones. Low bone density is a major risk factor for osteoporosis, a condition that can lead to an increased risk of fractures. Regular monitoring of bone density is important for early diagnosis and timely treatment of osteoporosis. Accurate monitoring can help individuals make informed decisions about their lifestyle and diet to promote healthy bones. Bone density tests are available for those at risk for low bone density and for those who wish to keep their bones healthy.
