Screening for Osteoporosis in the Adult U.S. Population: ACPM Position Statement on Preventive Practice
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 04/08/09

Lim LS et al. - All adult patients aged >=50 years should be evaluated for risk factors for osteoporosis. Screening with BMD testing for osteoporosis is recommended in women aged >=65 years and in men aged >=70 years. Younger postmenopausal women and men aged 50–69 years should undergo screening if they have at least one major or two minor risk factors for osteoporosis. It is also recommended that clinicians consider using an osteoporosis risk–assessment tool to evaluate absolute fracture risk to determine appropriate osteoporosis therapies.
