• The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) recommends BMD testing in premenopausal women with a history of fragility fracture(s) and in those with a known secondary cause of osteoporosis or bone loss.
• However, routine bone density screening in healthy premenopausal women is not recommended.
• This is because there are no prospective studies relating BMD by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to incident fractures in premenopausal women.
