Malone says rapid post-menopause bone loss makes waiting until 65 for scans risky

What was said

"Right now, the current recommendation for um getting a bone density is they said recommendation is do it at 65. Why would you do it that late? Isn't that a good question? Why would you wait? Remember I told you the most rapid phase of bone loss happens in the first 5 years after menopause."

Malone criticises guidance she describes as recommending first bone-density scans at 65, arguing it misses the period of fastest bone loss after menopause. She suggests a baseline scan at menopause and a repeat 18–24 months later to detect rapid decline and inform decisions on prevention strategies, including hormone therapy and resistance training.
