A 67-year-old female patient presents to the clinic. She has no personal history of fractures and no risk factors for osteoporosis. According to Osteoporosis Canada, when should she have her first screening dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan?

She should be screened now, as DEXA screening is recommended for all men and women age 65 and older. She does not require screening until age 70 if she remains asymptomatic. DEXA is only indicated if she experiences a low-trauma fracture after age 50. She should have been screened at age 50, regardless of risk factors.

Correct Answer:

She does not require screening until age 70 if she remains asymptomatic.
