It’s time for earlier screening! 10-12% rapid bone loss 2 years prior to final menstruation, aka 2-3 years prior to menopause. If you reach menopause with normal bone (T-score 0 to -1) you can avoid osteoporosis (T-score -2.5)!! But if you have -1 T-score at menopause and don’t do anything, the avg age of developing Osteoporosis will be age 64.
