Wellbeeing is conducting a two-day Bone Mineral Density camp for the elderly starting from May 12.
The camp is being held at Wellbeeing, Sahakarnagar and will cost Rs 200 only for tests and consultation.
A bone mineral density or BMD test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in an area of your bone.
This test helps your health care provider detect osteoporosis and predicts the risks for bone fractures.
BMD is conducted in many ways. The most common and accurate way is by using a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. DEXA uses low-dose x-rays, which is far lesser than a chest x-ray.
BMD helps diagnose bone loss and osteoporosis, checks how well osteo medicine is working and predicts a person’s risk of future bone fractures.
Women above 65 and men above 70 have an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Medical practitioners recommend a BMD test once every two years.
The camp is between 7 am and 9 am on May 12 and on May 13 it is between 10 am and 2 pm. The tests that are conducted include BP check, Bone Mineral Density, Haemoglobin and Random Blood Sugar test. For details contact 9900035200.
