Dear Pam,   It is always nice to see you here and as active in helping people as ever! Please see the discussion that I initiated on this topic which I posted here as well:   http://www.inspire.com/groups/national-osteoporosis-foundation/discussion/sos-on-bone-density-measurements-june-24-2009/   In India they dont have Medical Health Insurance of the sort you have in the US-- so patients have to pay from their pockets and private doctors may hay while the sun shines. In fact there are doctors who specialise in "diseases of the rich". One has only to see the opulent style of their living and the mansions they reside in to understand this, and the huge expensive cars that they drive, usually chauffeur driven. The fact that there are lots of fat and rich patients adds to their grandeur.    It would be wonderful if someone could discover a simple way for measuring fracture rick maybe from some blood tests. But I dont think that is a possibility in the near future. Please read the discussion on NOF and post some of your studied advice there as well.   Hope you are well.   Thanks a lot again, Yours, Priya
