Osteoporosis (bone thinning) is a common disease in middle and old age, leading to an increased chance of breaking a bone; a fracture. In Australia approximately 60% of women and 30% of men over 60 years of age will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their remaining lifetime. Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because it doesn't cause any symptoms until a bone is broken.    Dietary calcium calculator.

​
Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. This safe and painless technique is often referred to as bone densitometry and allows the early diagnosis of osteoporosis before a fracture has occurred. Effective therapies are now available to treat osteoporosis at an early stage.​
