USPSTF Recommendation: Screening for Osteoporosis to Prevent Fractures

This 2025 Recommendation Statement from the US Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for osteoporosis to prevent osteoporotic fractures in women 65 years or older (B recommendation) and postmenopausal women younger than 65 years at increased risk for an osteoporotic fracture (B recommendation) and concludes that current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for osteoporosis to prevent osteoporotic fractures in men (I statement).
