New guidelines recommend osteoporosis screening for women aged 65 and older to prevent fractures.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force updated its guidelines, recommending that women aged 65 and older be screened for osteoporosis to prevent fractures. Women younger than 65 who have gone through menopause and are at higher risk should also be screened. For men, there isn't enough evidence to recommend routine screening. Osteoporosis screening can help detect the condition early, improving health outcomes for women.
