Osteoporosis, a measurement can be known – ultrasonic bone density detector

With the improvement of living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, regular physical examination is more and more accepted by people. In the physical examination, we usually carry out electrocardiogram, liver and kidney function tests, but often ignore the serious threat to health - bone density health status.

When the elderly at home from time to time feel back pain, it is likely to be suffering from osteoporosis, the key to osteoporosis is early diagnosis, early prevention and treatment, bone densitometry is currently the most direct link in the early diagnosis of osteoporosis.

First. The role of bone density detection

1. Detect the quality of bone, assist in the diagnosis of calcium and other nutritional deficiencies, and provide nutritional guidance.

2. Early diagnosis of osteoporosis and prediction of fracture risk.

3. Evaluate the therapeutic effect of osteoporosis through continuous testing.

4. Monitor bone loss and drug efficacy.

Second, the purpose of bone mineral density detection

1. predict the risk of fracture, in order to take early preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of fractures.

2. advocating osteoporosis prevention is more important than treatment, early prevention, early diagnosis, early treatment.

Third, the scope of application of bone density detection

1.Elderly people over 60 years old;

2. Postmenopausal women;

3.Men in their 50s who are clinically at risk;

4.People over 50 years old with a history of hip fracture;

5. People who use steroids for a long time;

6. Children in the growth and development period understand bone development;

7. People with long-term calcium deficiency or suspected calcium malabsorption (such as people after total thyroidectomy).

Bone densitometry can detect low bone mineral density before fracture occurs, confirm the diagnosis of osteoporosis, and prevent the possibility of future fracture. It is recommended to test every 1 year, and to test once every 6 months to 1 year in high-risk groups.

Forth. Use of bone mineral density detection

In general, early osteoporosis is not easy to be found, so we need to check the physical condition in time to confirm whether the body has osteoporosis, in order to treat the right medicine, normally, the earlier the discovery of osteoporosis, the body can be supplemented earlier, middle-aged men if there is always easy fatigue, sweating, numbness, love cramps and other symptoms, We can run a bone density test. Women who are losing weight, if there is back pain, it is also recommended to do a bone density check.
