[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just looked it up. Not sure it’s a good idea to voluntarily get extra radiation?[/quote] It’s all about cost/benefit analysis IMO. No, extra radiation probably not a good thing, but it is good to learn about your bone density and amount of visceral fat. Knowing that can prompt some people to make healthy changes they might not have otherwise. And radiation is everywhere, so it’s a question of degree.[/quote] Agreed. The risks and costs of obesity, injury, and osteoporosis greatly outweigh the risks of minimal radiation. I’m surprised more GPs don’t recommend them as part of regular health screening.[/quote] I get a dexa scan every couple of years for checking osteoporosis.[/quote]
