Osteoporosis, Women/Men and Bone test!

Women who are 65 or over do not always have bone density testing.
Most people do not get bone density testing until they break a bone or have a fall.As many as 1 in 2 postmenopausal women and 1 in 5 older men are at risk for an osteoporosis related fracture.Osteoporosis is common in all racial groups but, most common in white persons.
