thanks, racer. i'm worried about my mother. in addition to the risk factors you listed, i'm sure hereditary factors are also important. i think my mother is 52. at her last bone scan, they found that she was borderline osteoporosis. because the calcium supplements are unpleasant to take, she just doesn't, no matter how i push her. i figure that if she feels free to lecture me on my eating, i have a right to push her to take those supplemenets. in any case, i worry about her. also, since she is showing signs of osteoporosis, that's not good for me, even at a young age.
i hope your scan turned out well without anything to worry about.
