Your Questions Answered...

When should I have my bone health screened?
It all depends on your diet and lifestyle. Some women should assess bone health as early as their late twenties or early thirties. Before you begin supplementation or other intervention, you should learn your rate of bone breakdown. Therapy is determined by a baseline rate of bone breakdown. Subsequent screening can measure relative changes resulting from therapy.

Who has a high risk for rapid bone breakdown?
Nearly 50% of healthy American women are at an increased risk of bone breakdown. Besides being female, other risk factors include having a small frame, fair complexion, family history of bone conditions, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of alcohol, hormone imbalances, and a diet low in fats/dairy products.

What are the consequences of poor bone health left untreated?
Left untreated, rapid bone breakdown leads to a gradual weakening of bone tissue. Eventually, vertebrae in the spine can crack and compress from even simple activities like bending to tie a shoelace. This results in permanent spinal deformities ("Dowager's Hump") and painful fractures of the wrist, hip, and spine. Monitoring your bone health early is the key to successful treatment.
