"Bone tests aren't just for women anymore. New guidelines are calling for older men to get a routine check for bone-thinning osteoporosis.There's news for women, too: A new computerized tool uses more than bone-density tests to predict who is at highest risk of breaking a bone in coming years — by adding in such important risk factors as whether a parent ever broke a hip.
It's an effort to better target who really needs treatment and who can safely skip it, even before someone's bones become thin enough to be officially labeled an osteoporosis patient."
Skip the tests and just do fitness.
"And it promises a major shift in bone care."
Wrong.
It promises a major shift in money from your pocket to the sick care industry.
Avoid the costs and tests.
And the uncertainties of "treatment."
