Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones that makes it easier for you to break a bone. It’s caused by losing protein and mineral content, such as calcium. After age 30, women start losing bone strength. Most women are tested for this problem by age 65.

A DEXA scan uses X-rays to find osteoporosis and is the most common way to measure bone strength.
