| Bibliography on Bone Mineral Density Test for Osteoporosis
HealthYes! Executives and Medical Advisory Board members have gone to great lengths to ensure that
all screening procedures and medical information are correct and backed by medical research, medical
journals and clinical testing. Below you will find a comprehensive annotated medical bibliography on
Bone Mineral Density Test for Osteoporosis, including citations. The information provided is designed
to aid medical reporters and physicians in understanding the screenings, methodologies, and technologies
employed by HealthYes! Preventive Screening.

“On average, only about 20% of male
patients older than 65 years had been screened for osteoporosis, so most of these men were not being screened
by BMD testing as recommended in the guidelines. Considering the relatively high rates of osteoporosis and
osteopenia found in this study and the known morbidity and mortality associated with osteoporotic fractures
in this population, higher rates of BMD screening and more widespread treatment of osteoporosis could prevent
many fractures among these patients.”

improved physician education and familiarity with the disease, high rates of BMD testing for earlier
identification of geriatric patients at risk for osteoporosis are achievable.”

Survey of 275 women. Only half of
women age 65 and older and 43.8% of women under 65 had received bone density testing. “Ninety-two percent
of the respondents rated a discussion of osteoporosis and fracture prevention with their primary care
provider as "very," "moderately," or "somewhat" important, but only 44% actually had such a discussion.”

“The degree to which BMD testing was
offered to women in a fracture prevention program significantly affected total fracture rates, change in some
fracture risk factors, and knowledge about risk factors.”

Study of 945 post-menopausal
women. “These findings suggest that many postmenopausal women are unaware of their bone density and
could benefit from screening. In this study, approximately half of the women with osteoporosis initiated
treatment after screening. Disease severity, medical care frequency, education, income, and physician
type predicted treatment initiation.”
