"Studies show that after age 50 years, six percent of men suffering from hip fractures, and five percent suffering from spine fracture due to osteoporosis and its percentage increases with advancing age. When one gets older, minerals such as calcium in the body will start to decrease. Combine that with the lower level of testosterone that causes brittle bones. Male 65 years should have already undergone this test. However, men who are at risk of osteoporosis, such as patients taking drugs 'corticosteroids' or have fractures should undergo this test earlier.
