Osteoporosis Awareness month

Osteoporosis: DEXA Scans

This May is osteoporosis awareness month and Nomad Fit Lab is bringing attention to what’s been called, “the silent disease.” Osteoporosis occurs when bone mineral density and mass decrease. You won’t feel or notice anything that signals you might have osteoporosis, however.

Most people are unaware that they have osteoporosis until they break a bone. Diagnosing osteoporosis requires a test that can measure your bone mineral density (BMD). The most common (and preferred) test for measuring BMD is a DEXA scan.

Nomad Fit Lab is here to make DEXA scans accessible and affordable. In less than 15 minutes you can have a full body health scan ideal for assessing your risk for osteoporosis. Click the link below to find a DEXA scan near you:

Osteoporosis Fact Sheet

What is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens your bones making them less dense than they should be. People with osteoporosis are more likely to suffer broken bones.

The Silent Disease

Osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease" because it doesn't usually cause symptoms until a bone breaks, often in the hip, spine, or wrist.

US Population Statistics

In the United States, an estimated 10 million people age 50 years and older have osteoporosis. Most of these people are women, but about 2 million are men.

Women at Higher Risk

One in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis. For women, the incidence is greater than that of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined.

Higher Risk with Aging

As we age, it is common for our bones to naturally lose some of their density. But with osteoporosis, the bones become so weak and brittle that a fall or even mild stresses can cause a break.

DEXA Scans Gold Standard

A bone mineral density (BMD) test is the best way to diagnose osteoporosis and determine a treatment plan. DEXA scans are considered the Gold Standard for measuring BMD.

What Our Customers are Saying

★★★★★ 5/5

"Convenient, fast, efficient and extensive information sent to your email address within minutes of your scan. Asked my Dr. if I could order a bone density scan and found out that it would be several months wait. Nomad made it happen in a week with my results."

"Fast easy and affordable! I highly recommend these guys! At age 53, with an elderly parent who suffers from osteoporosis, I was relieved to know that my bone density is great! Also happy to see my muscle ratio increasing!"
