【 Health check 】 Don't wait for a fracture to be concerned! Prevention of osteoporosis starts with bone density screening!

Bone density measurement was used to determine whether the patient had osteoporosis. The elderly, diabetic patients, neck, waist and leg pain people should know the influence of the primary disease on bone regularly.

Unexplained back pain, hunchback, height reduction, slight external force fracture... If your body has the above problems, it should pay attention to, it is likely to be osteoporosis!

Osteoporosis is a problem that many people (especially women) have to face, and if you want to know whether the calcium in your bones is enough and the bone strength is good, the bone mass contained in the bones is an important judgment indicator.

These people need regular monitoring of bone mineral density to prevent fractures without panic

Bone mineral density examination does reflect the health of the bone or not, and also plays an important role in preventing the occurrence of fractures, so in addition to the people who need to regularly monitor bone mineral density due to disease treatment, these people need to do (or regularly do) bone mineral density examination:

Women over 50 years old, perimenopausal, postmenopausal and men over 60 years old;

Have a history of fragility fracture or a family history of fragility fracture;

Low sex hormone levels due to various reasons;

X-ray showed changes in osteoporosis;

Patients receiving osteoporosis treatment requiring efficacy monitoring;

Patients with diseases affecting bone mineral metabolism (renal insufficiency, diabetes, chronic liver disease, hyperparathyroidism, etc.);

Long-term use of drugs that may affect bone mineral metabolism (such as glucocorticoids, antiepileptic drugs, heparin, etc.);

The significance of bone density examination

Detect bone mineral content, assist in the diagnosis of calcium deficiency, and guide the dosage of calcium supplement.

The nutritional status and growth rate of bone were predicted according to the bone mineral density corresponding to age.

Bone density measurement was used to determine whether the patient had osteoporosis.

The elderly, diabetic patients, neck, waist and leg pain people should know the influence of the primary disease on bone regularly.
