BMD: SCREENING FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS?
Osteoporosis, which literally means porous bone, is a disease in which the density and quality of bone are reduced. As bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly increased. The loss of bone occurs silently and progressively. Often there are no symptoms until the first fracture occurs. Early diagnosis and treatment along with regular monitoring are crucial to patients' quality of life and life expectancy.
