Osteoporosis is often known as a "silent disease" as there are rarely signs and symptoms until you have lost a significant amount of bone. It is a disease condition where your bones become brittle and break easily without any trauma or following trivial injury. Reduction in bone mineral density, deterioration of bone micro-architecture contribute to loss of bone strength and increase in brittleness of your bone.
Who are at risk of getting osteoporosis?
female
advanced age
small frame (BMI < 19 kg/m2)
family history of osteoporosis
sedentary lifestyle
low calcium and vitamin D intake
excessive alcohol and tobacco use
certain medicines (steroids, anti-convulsants)
eating disorders
Asians and Caucasian
early menopause (both natural and surgical menopause)
Measuring your bone mineral density using DXA scan
DXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) technology has been used widely worldwide for assessment of bone health. It provides a measurement of bone mineral density and bone mineral content values of your lumbar spine, hip and distal radius (wrist). DXA is also used to monitor your response to treatment for your osteoporosis.
How is a DXA scan done for measurement of Bone Mineral Density (BMD)?
DXA scan uses a very minimal amount of radiation. You just need to lie down on the scan machine for about 5 minutes. Images, as well as the bone mineral density on the regions scanned, will be produced immediately.
Assessment of Body Composition Analysis (BCA)
DXA has been recognized as the most accurate and precise tool to calculates the percentages of body fat, muscle mass, and bone mass as well as measuring your body weight and your body mass index (BMI).
This provides very important information for people with obesity and is undergoing a slimming program, for young healthy individuals who are doing regular gym workout and bodybuilding. BCA measurement is also important for pediatric assessment to assess growth and development.
