[quote=Anonymous]Had one at 50 (female). My mother in her 70s has definitely lost height, like a lot of it, and it seemed to happen overnight in her early 70s, but I don’t know if she’s ever had a DEXA and has never told me she’s been diagnosed with osteoporosis. She’s also never had a fracture. Aside from that, no real risk factors other than that I am small. My doctor told me that being under 127 pounds is a risk factor, and that insurance may cover it because of that. Insurance did cover it, although I don’t know if that was why. I initiated it myself just after reading up on the risks of bone loss during perimenopause, no doctor told me I needed it, but my gyn prescribed it when I asked for it. I did not have osteoporosis, but I’d like to keep it that way. I’m still going to do everything. I can’t protect my bones. [/quote]
