Dear kps
Do a search on this site or goggle "osteoporosis testing" or "diagnosing osteoporosis". Read "The Myth of Osteopoqrsis" from your local library. And why are you asking?

Hello kps, have you used the resources on www.nof.org? There is so much information available on the nof site that will probably answer many of your questions.

You are most welcome. Having a bone density test is good measure.

KPS,
I was originally DX with O.I due to having a DNA test, then when I went for a Bone Mineral Test, I was Disagnosed with Oesteo Porosis, When I went for my 6 Month Checkup the other Day, they said that I didnt have Oesteo Porosis, I had Oesteo Penia.
Osteo Penia - is the on set of Oesteo Porosis.
Regards
Waughie.

kps, There isn't any way for me to confirm the following information in India, but I want to pass on in case it may be of help. Please check for Dr Anil Kumar. The doctor is affiliated with Patna ECR's speciality hospital. If you do find any helpful information about the doctor, please post as it may help other community members. Thanks. Sandi

I hope this helps. I understand there are different districts in your country. You may also want to contact Patna Medical College. When I have information for the US, I usually phone and confirm. Unfortunately, I can't confirm the information I am giving you. Please let me know if you are able to find any osteoporosis information from the above information. Thank you. Sandi

Although the only current non-invasive test for osteoporosis is the Bone Density Scan, there are several risk factors and first signs that might indicate you either have the condition or are at high risk. NOF would have a list on the website www.nof.org.
That being said, there are many with few first signs and/or risk factors who have the condition and vice versa.
As a clinical physical therapist, I assume everyone has it unless it can be shown otherwise by a bone density scan. In that, way, my exercise prescriptions are safe for everyone. (Of course there are other conditions to be considered also.)
