It\u2019s fair to say that bone health often gets overlooked. When was the last time you considered it? Here at My Vital Metrics we think people should pay more attention to their bone health. One of the things that a DEXA can do besides body composition is quickly and reliably tell you what your bone density looks like. In fact, this is the primary purpose of DEXA scans in the medical community.<\/p>\n

The aim of this article is to show you how important it is to support bone mineral density and everyone at every stage of life can take action to improve this. \u00a0Let’s start by having a look at bone health across the lifespan:<\/p>\n
