Bone Density Test
Bone density testing is important to determine whether you are at risk of osteoporosis or indeed already have symptoms of the disease. This is especially important for women who are over the age of 40.
The older you get, the higher your risk of osteoporosis because your bones become weaker as you age.
Your race also makes a difference: you're at greatest risk of osteoporosis if you're white or of Southeast Asian descent.
Other risk factors for osteoporosis include low body weight, a personal history of fractures, a family history of osteoporosis and the use of certain medications that can cause bone loss.
Our urine test measures the levels of bone destruction without the need for densitometry which uses X rays and hence may be potentially harmful to the body.
