Purpose of the Profile
- Accurately measure bone mineral density.
- Estimate the probability of future bone fractures.
- Monitor bone response to hormonal changes post-menopause.
This comprehensive profile assesses bone health post-menopause by combining advanced DEXA imaging with biochemical markers. It identifies fracture risks early, enabling personalized preventative strategies to maintain skeletal strength.
Scientific name: Menopausal Osteoporosis Risk & Bone Health Profiling (DEXA)
A specialized screening combining DEXA scans with bone turnover markers and calcium metabolism tests. It evaluates fracture risk in post-menopausal women to guide preventative therapy and maintain bone density.
