Osteoporosis,
resulting in brittle bones, is a "silent thief" -- it robs
your bones of calcium. There are no early warning signs until the
disease results in broken bones. The skeleton becomes weakened and a
minor fall can result in a fractured hip or wrist. Bones are not
lifeless mineral deposits. Bones are constantly changing. They are
dynamic, however, after menopause. They begin to break down.

There
are signs of late osteoporosis. They can include back pain, height loss, a
curving spine, a history of broken bones or a recent broken bone.
There
is an accurate way of determining if osteoporosis is present. It is called Bone
Densitometry. This test can often detect osteoporosis in the early stages before
broken bones occur. The test can also be used to track bone response to
treatment. Bone Densitometry is similar to an x-ray. There is also a urine test
called Osteomark®
which can help determine if bone loss is occurring at a dangerous rat
