Bone density is the amount of bone mineral people have in their bone tissue. If bone density is low, it can lead to osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle, and can easily break or fracture. How do age and gender impact bone mass?

Bone density or bone mineral density is the amount of bone mineral in the bone tissue. Bone density measurements are used in clinical medicine as an indicator of osteoporosis, a disease that makes your bones weak, and increases the risk of fractures. It can also indicate your response to trea...
You break a bone after age 50. The test is painless and fast. It uses X-rays to estimate how dense or thick your bones are. Often, the first sign your bones are getting weak is when they break. Many people have a fracture or a series of fractures in their spine and don’t even ...

You may not know you have it until you break a bone. Osteopenia must be managed or treated so it does not worsen and become osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a serious condition that causes bones to become weak, brittle, and easily fractured....
You have a genetic predisposition to weak bones.Low bone mass and osteoporosis tend to run in families. Plus, those with roots in Northern Europe or Asia tend to carry a higher risk than other ethnicities. Black people have lower rates of osteoporosis and higher peak bone mass. ...

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of the density or mass of minerals, primarily calcium, in a volume of bone. It is an important factor in bone strength and is used to assess the risk of osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle. BMD is typically measur...
