To assess osteoporosis risks, especially in seniors where symptoms may not be apparent, crucial for early detection and intervention to maintain bone health.
- Bone Mineral Density Test (Hip and Spine): Scans both lower spine and hip to gauge bone mineral density/calcium content to diagnose osteoporosis.
- Vitamin D (25-hydroxy): Blood test to detect Vitamin D levels which is essential for healthy bones and teeth. Low levels could indicate bone disorders and other medical problems.
