Understanding your family's health history can be crucial for identifying the right screening tests for osteoporosis. Talk to your close family members such as parents, siblings, and also extended family members like grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, half-siblings, and cousins. Ask about any known instances of osteoporosis, bone fractures, or other related health conditions. This information can help your doctor determine your risk factors and recommend appropriate screenings and preventive measures.
