This disof order affects nearly one-haall postmenopausal women, the largest group at high risk for osteoporosis. Research in osteoporosis, the disorder in which progressive bone loss results in increased risk of fracture, is making important new advances. A key factor in his success has been the availability of new and improved equipment to measure bone density. Using a bone densitometer, physicians can measure patient bone density and follow it over time. If the patients bone density is low, or decreases at an abnormally fast rate, the patient may lf be at risk for osteoporosis. Through changes in diet, exercise habits andor medication, further deterioration of bone can be prevented. A new bone densitometer was recently installed at the Tanner Clinics in Layton and Kays-vill- e. bone densitomThe DPX-Ieter (Lunar corporation, MadiQ il! ij-Whof If Cvboa Monoild ?

It can also evaluate response to treatment so that we know whether our therapy is effective or if we need to modify our approach. Fortunately, Kirkham said, recent research findings clarify the nature of the disease and demonstrate the effectiveness of new treatments. New diagnostic devices, such as the DPX-Idensitometer, improve the early detection and treatment of osteoporosis. Kirkham encourages individuals to visit their physician to discuss the need for bone density examination. There is no special preparation involved for the patient, the exam only takes a few minutes, and is a very comfortable procedure for the patient.
