The most recent osteoporosis guidelines, based on the latest research and consensus among physician groups, is that DEXA scan should start at age 65 for healthy women not at particular risk for osteoporosis.[1] Thereafter, women should undergo a DEXA scan every 2 to 5 years, depending on their osteoporosis risk factors. Unfortunately, recent evidence shows that many older women are not receiving the proper screening and treatment. Despite the standard recommendation for screening of all women aged 65 years and older, only about 30-50% of eligible women get a bone density test.[2]
