Thank you for asking. I feel great. I lift weights 3xweek and walk minimum 1 mile a day, which helps keep my bones strong and my dexa is pretty much stable from 2 years ago. Spine BMD increased a bit so is no long in osteopenia range. Risk of major fracture in next 10 yrs is 10%. Risk of hip fracture 2.5%. I am 73 years old, 5 foot tall and weight 94 lbs, but can deadlift 150 lb. and carry 75% of by bodyweight for 1 minute farmer carry. I attribute the weight training to the stability of my BMD numbers. I take 4000 units vitamin D a day, plus Vitamin k, and get enough calcium from diet.
