Screening for Osteoporosis

Santa Rosa Medical Center uses the latest Dexascan technology for the detection of osteoporosis; a debilitating bone disorder. Osteoporosis is a silent, progressive disease characterized by decreased bone density and increased bone fragility, with a consequent susceptibility to fracture. In the United States, over 28 million people are at high risk of developing osteoporosis and up to 1.5 million fractures a year are attributable to this disease. Health care expenditures related to osteoporosis are over $14 billion per year.

Risk Factors for osteoporosis include:

• Female
• Greater than 50 years of age
• Family history of fractures
• Early menopause
• Diet low in calcium
• Thin and small framed

 

If you are at risk for osteoporosis, ask your doctor to schedule an exam with Santa Rosa Medical Center.
