Screening bone mass, preventing osteoporosis, bone densitometer for bone health!

Every day on TV, listening to various advertisements, "back pain, back pain, hunchback, decreased respiratory function", is it with these symptoms is osteoporosis? In the end how to judge? Bone densitometer manufacturers to answer for you.

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease caused by a variety of reasons, such as decreased bone density and bone quality, destruction of bone microstructure, resulting in increased bone fragility, and thus susceptible to fracture.

In addition to primary osteoporosis, which is mainly associated with menopause and old age, osteoporosis may also be caused by endocrine diseases, rheumatic diseases and other diseases affecting bone metabolism, and medications affecting bone metabolism, such as glucocorticoids, which are called secondary osteoporosis.

One osteoporotic fracture occurs every 3 seconds worldwide, and 1/3 of women and 1/5 of men will experience an osteoporotic fracture after the age of 50. However, osteoporosis has few symptoms and is not easy to detect in the early stages. "Bone density is the main indicator of bone strength. Measuring bone mineral content through scanning can provide valuable clinical data, which is crucial for diagnosing bone metabolism abnormalities caused by various diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should have a bone density screening, and people over 40 years of age should have their bone density tested 1-2 times a year to understand the condition of their bones.

DEXA-PRO1(600)

Bone densitometer testing program can assess the level of bone density and diagnose osteoporosis for timely treatment and prevention.

Significance of Bone Densitometer
Detecting bone mineral content assists in the diagnosis of calcium and other nutritional deficiencies and guides nutritional intervention and treatment.
To predict the nutritional status and growth rate of bone based on the bone density status corresponding to age.
Osteoporosis diagnosis. Use of a bone density analyzer to determine if affected bones have osteoporosis.
Fracture Risk Assessment. Bone density can predict fracture risk.

What kind of people need a bone density test?
(1) Both men and women who have had a fracture after the age of 50.
(2) Chronic rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, and eating disorders.
(3) Premature menopause, both naturally occurring menopause and menopause due to surgery.
(4) Hormone therapy for prostate or breast cancer.
(5) Shortening of height.
(6) Smoking.
(7) A clear family history of osteoporosis.
(8) Daily glucocorticosteroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone, etc.) for more than 3 consecutive months.
(9) Frequent heavy alcohol consumption.

If you are found to have osteoporosis after having a bone density test, it means that there is already a risk of fracture and you need to take timely measures to reduce the probability of fracture. Screening bone mass, preventing osteoporosis, bone densitometer for bone health escort!
