Who are suitable for bone density examination?

The issue of bone density is a big problem that many of us are particularly concerned about. Many people have recently been suffering from the disease of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is caused by low bone density. We should do more daily examinations, timely detection and timely treatment, which can effectively help us prevent the disease from worsening. Let us understand which groups of people are suitable for bone density examinations.

As an important criterion for evaluating bone quality, the significance of bone density examination is very important, especially for children and the elderly, whose bones are relatively fragile. They need to use effective methods to monitor bone density, so as to effectively avoid calcium deficiency in children, osteoporosis in the elderly, and easy fractures. Let’s take a closer look at it. People who need regular bone density tests mainly include:

1. Middle-aged and elderly people should have a check-up every year.

2. Patients with a family history of osteoporosis.

3. Women with late menarche, abnormal ovarian function or menopausal women.

4. People with chronic gastrointestinal diseases or malnutrition.

5. People who smoke and drink for a long time, or take anticoagulants, anti-epileptic drugs, heparin, corticosteroids, chemotherapy and other drugs for a long time.

6. Patients with hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, anorexia nervosa, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. 7. People who lack exercise or those who have been dieting for a long time. How is bone density tested? The editor conducted an on-site investigation at the Tianjin Public Health Examination Center. In fact, the method of bone density examination is very simple. The examinee only needs to put his arm or foot into the bone density detector. The examination is completed in less than two minutes. Moreover, the newly introduced bone density detector does not have any radiation, and the whole process is painless. The test results can also be displayed on the computer immediately, which is very accurate. According to surveys, the only way to accurately check the degree of osteoporosis today is to conduct a bone density test, which can also predict the risk of fractures and is of great significance.

We should judge whether we are suitable for bone density testing based on the problems of the people who are suitable for bone density testing, so as to find out whether our bones are normal. If not, we must go to a nearby hospital for examination in time and actively cooperate with the doctor to take the most effective treatment method to prevent the condition from worsening.
