Osteoporosis Risk Assessment Package
Osteoporosis can develop gradually, often without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs. The Osteoporosis Risk Assessment Package is designed to help identify factors that may increase your risk of weak or fragile bones and support timely medical evaluation.
This assessment is particularly useful for older adults, postmenopausal women, people with a family history of osteoporosis, individuals with low body weight, and those with lifestyle or medical factors that may affect bone health.
What Does the Assessment Include?
The evaluation may involve a review of your medical history, lifestyle, nutrition, medications, previous fractures, and other osteoporosis risk factors. Based on your individual needs, your doctor may recommend appropriate investigations such as bone mineral density testing (DEXA scan) or relevant blood tests.
Who Should Consider an Osteoporosis Risk Assessment?
You may benefit from an assessment if you have a history of fractures, reduced bone strength, limited physical activity, inadequate calcium or vitamin D intake, or other known risk factors. Early assessment can help your doctor understand your bone health and discuss suitable preventive measures.
