The National Osteoporosis Foundation’s guidelines say that women over 65, younger postmenopausal women who have any of the osteoporosis risk factors, as well as those with specific fractures, should receive a DEXA scan. Men are also at risk for osteoporosis as they age; especially if they have some of the causes of osteopenia or osteoporosis.
