How often should you get a dexa scan if you have osteoporosis?

According to the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation, patients on osteoporosis medication should repeat their bone density test using a Central DEXA scan every one to two years. The frequency for a DEXA scan if you have osteoporosis is not a universal rule; instead, it is highly individualized based on your specific risk factors, treatment plan, and prior scan results.
