Osteoporosis screening, therapy is cost effective - Yahoo! News
I totally believe in the value of women over 50 getting bone density tests.
In fact, I asked about a bone density test when I was (only?) 50 - and it's a darn good thing that I did because I did test to have osteoporosis. I've been on Fosamax since. Thank God I didn't have to break a hip first before I found out about my osteoporosis.
One thing, however, that bugs me about this article, even offends me - it emphasizes cost effectiveness. What about the health and well-being of older women? Isn't that even more important?
