Your doctor may order bone density tests to determine and keep an eye on your bone density. Increasing bone density is vital for lowering your risk of fractures or breaks because of osteoporosis.

On MyOsteoTeam, the social network and online support group for those living osteoporosis, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Bone density is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.

Here are some conversations about bone density:

• My bone density has improved since starting my new medication.
• Do you take vitamins to help with bone density?
