Osteoporosis is diagnosed when bone density has decreased to the point where fractures can happen with only mild stress on the bone.

Bone density testing can measure the amount of bone in different parts of the skeleton and can predict the risk of future fractures and monitor changes in bone mineral density due to medical conditions or therapy.

Establishing a baseline bone density for their residents who are at risk for osteoporosis can be extremely beneficial in explaining the occurrence of fractures which occur without apparent injury or known trauma.
