Bone Quality:<\/h3>\n

Since I started working in the field of bone health there is a common thread that drives a bigger question. <\/p>\n

Is the DXA test (which measures bone density) the only way to determine the overall health of your bones?<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about bone quality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OSTEOPOROSIS AND BONE QUALITY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Lani Simpson interviewed the researcher and developer of the Trabecular Bones Score TBS software, Dr. Didier Hans.<\/p>\n

They discussed bone density testing, with a special focus on the TBS score.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recording and notes are now available.<\/p>\n

Bone density testing<\/strong> (DXA)<\/strong> is an important piece of the bone health picture, but not the whole story.<\/p>\n

Bone quality helps<\/strong> (TBS)<\/strong> explains why some people can have the same exact bone density, while one person fractures easily, and the other does not.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If bone quality is poor, there is less flexibility in the bones to withstand impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone quality can be assessed by software (TBS) that a bone density facility can purchase.<\/p>\n
