COSA Risk Level
Low Osteoporosis Risk
The COSA assessment indicates you are at low risk for osteoporosis, this means your current profile suggests a relatively low probability of having low bone density or experiencing osteoporotic fractures in the near future.
However, it’s important to note that osteoporosis risk can change over time. We recommend you continue to monitor your bone health through periodic COSA assessments, with suggested repeat testing every 2 years.
Consult Doctor about DXA Scan
Should your COSA risk profile change to high risk in the future, your doctor will advise you on the appropriate next steps, which may include a bone density scan and consideration of preventative treatment. Proactive management is key to reducing your chances of developing osteoporosis and suffering fractures.
