Your Bones at Midlife

The normal wear and tear of aging affects your bones, but hormones play a role as well. Estrogen helps maintain bone strength and density by promoting new bone formation. So when estrogen levels decline during menopause, your bone density may drop below normal—a condition called osteopenia.
Without treatment, bone loss can progress to osteoporosis, a disease that dramatically raises your risk of fracture.

Strong from Within
Depending on your age and risk factors, Midi may prescribe bone density testing, and we discuss ways to prevent—and even reverse—bone loss with every patient.

Frequently asked questions
Who should be screened for osteoporosis?
Screening for osteoporosis is recommended for women 65 years and older and should be considered for younger women who have one or more risk factors for osteoporosis.
What are the risk factors for osteoporosis?
The risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures include:
- Having early menopause
- Having a family history of osteoporosis or a parent with a history of hip fractures
- Having a personal history of fractures
- Having a history of falls
- Being a thin Caucasian or Asian woman
- A lower weight or body mass index (usually <18.8)
- Poor nutrition
- Smoking cigarettes
- Inadequate physical activity
- Consuming more than three alcoholic drinks a day
- Taking certain medications, including steroids or aromatase inhibitors (for breast cancer)
- Having certain health conditions, including early ovarian failure (before age 40), rheumatoid arthritis, chronic liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or a history of hyperthyroidism
What can I expect from a bone density scan?
Bone density is most often assessed by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), which is a simple X-ray test that looks at the hips and spine. No anesthesia is required and the amount of radiation used is extremely low. During the test, you’ll lie fully clothed on a padded platform while an X-ray machine arm passes above you. The test lasts about 10 minutes.
What does my bone density result mean?
The results of a bone density test are called a T score. The lower the T score, the greater the risk of fracture.
- Normal bone density: People with normal bone density have a T score of -1.0 or above
- Low bone density (osteopenia): People with low bone density, or osteopenia, have a T score between -1.0 and -2.5
- Osteoporosis: People with osteoporosis have a T score of -2.5 or below
How can hormone replacement therapy (HRT) help with bone loss?
A large body of recent research shows that if women start hormone replacement therapy within 10 years of their last period, not only do they enjoy significant relief from menopausal symptoms but they also have a lower risk of bone loss (as well as heart disease). HRT causes estrogen levels to increase, which helps prevent bone loss and reduce your chance of breaking a bone or developing osteoporosis.
How can I help prevent osteoporosis?
Certain lifestyle measures can help prevent osteoporosis. These include:
- Getting sufficient calcium and vitamin D. The suggested intake for postmenopausal women is 1200 mg/ day of calcium and 800 IU/day of vitamin D.
- Doing weight-bearing exercises, such as strength training or aerobic fitness, for 30 minutes three times a week
- Avoiding smoking cigarettes
- Reducing your risk of falls by placing anti-slip material below rugs (or removing rugs altogether), adding grab bars to bathtubs and showers, placing nightlights in rooms, securing electrical cord placement, and having ambulatory assistive devices available, if needed
- Avoiding heavy alcohol intake (more than three alcoholic drinks a day)
