Dr. Henry explains the importance of bone density, the FRAX fracture-risk assessment, risk factors for osteoporosis, and when additional evaluation for underlying causes of bone loss may be needed. He also discusses screening and why identifying osteoporosis early is important for preventing fractures and protecting long-term bone health.
