Bone Health Assessment
As we grow old, our bones structure becomes unbalanced, you will find more bone is lost than formed. This age-related bone loss is particularly seen in case of women after menopause, when they stop producing oestrogen. Older women may lose nearly 7% of their bone mass each year.
Older men also seem to lose bone, when less of hormone testosterone is being produced. However, the bone loss is more gradual for men.
Osteoporosis has no symptoms and you might not know that your bones have become unstable and thin.
Why come for Bone Health Assessment...
At SilverCare, we provide a complete assessment of your bone health. This multidisciplinary assessment is done for people over 50 who are deemed at higher risk of fall or fracture. This will help in improving the strength of their bones to lessen the risk of another fracture taking place. Some specialist assessments consist of the following:
WHO NEEDS TO BE TESTED FOR BONE LOSS?
- women over 65 years or men above 70
- women who have had early menopause
- postmenopausal women having at least one risk factor or not on hormone supplements
- men between 50 and 70 years with one risk factor
- men or women above 50 who have broken a bone earlier
- men or women who want to take medications that increase the risks associated with osteoporosis
