callalloo. I have a 2016, 2108 and 2022 DEXA. First one is mild osteoporosis...second (doing NOTHING different and TAKING NO DRUGS...Osteopenia! Third moderate osteoporosis.

I've taken nothing for it. Dexa scans are notoriously inaccurate and all over the map. EVEN IF you go to the same facility with the same technician.

I'm doing osteostrong and anxious to see how my next Dexa pans out.

I guess that DEXAs can vary, depending upon the hardware used? Or can the operator make a difference? It's odd to me too. Given that a diagnosis of osteoporosis, leading to drug recommendations, can rest on the DEXA data, a tad more precision would be appreciated!

I'm with you on just doing all of the common sense things I can figure out to maintain or even augment the bone density that I have to the best of my ability.
