The risk of<unk><unk>  fracture due to osteoporosis is threatening, affecting one out of two postmenopausal women and one out of five men older than 50 years. The 10-year risk for osteoporosis-related<unk><unk>  fracture in a 65-year-old white woman with no other risk factor is 9.3%. According to the guidelines of USPSTF, all women ≥ 65 years old along with women < 65 years old with a high risk of fracture are the target of screening for osteoporosis, but there is not any recommendation to screen men for the disease. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of both hip and lumbar spine bones and quantitative ultrasonography of the calcaneus are two major methods suggested for screening osteoporosis.
