Detection and treatment of osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a silent disease that affects one in four women. Bone loss increases rapidly following the menopause. Osteoporosis can be easily detected and successfully monitored and treated. Prevention of osteoporosis is better than cure. Osteoporosis can be counteracted by developing a strong, healthy skeleton in early life. Bone density scanning provides a quick and accurate measurement of bone mineral density.
