The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) has created the Osteoporosis Risk Minute Test, a test in which subjects answer 10 questions. If the subject answers “yes” to any of the questions, it is positive, indicating the risk of osteoporosis, but this does not prove that the subject is suffering from osteoporosis, whether the disease requires a bone density test to draw conclusions. The 10 questions are: 1. Have your parents ever had a hip fracture from a minor collision or fall? 2.Have you ever hurt your bones from a minor collision or fall? 3.Do you often take cortisone, prednisone and other hormonal drugs for more than 3 months in a row? 4.Have you lost 3 cm of height? 5.Do you often drink alcohol excessively? 6.Do you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day? 7.Do you often suffer from dysentery and diarrhea? 8.Ms. answer: Did you go through menopause before 45 years old? 9.Have you ever had no menstruation for more than 12 consecutive months (except during pregnancy)? 10.Answer for men: Do you suffer from erectile dysfunction or lack of sexual desire?
