Symptoms of Osteopenia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Diagnosis
As mentioned, many people with osteopenia will not even notice that they have the condition. Depending on certain circumstances, however, it might be recommended that some people undergo tests to see if they have the condition. The test aims to measure the density of your bones; usually those in the spine, hips, and wrist.
Because the condition often goes unnoticed, it is recommended that anybody over 65 should be tested, especially women. In some cases, the test might even reveal that the patient has osteoporosis, meaning they will need to be especially careful not to fall or injure themselves in other ways.
