MYFOXNY.COM – Free bone density tests are being offered in the tristate area.
The non-invasive tests include a printout of bone density results (T-score) and comparative results with age and gender groups (Z-score) that can be shared with a personal physician.
The scanners used for the testing use real-time ultrasound imaging of the heel bone.
More than 40 million Americans either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass.
Six Whole Food locations in Manhattan are taking part in the scanning March 1-3. There are also free events throughout the month and into April in Brooklyn, White Plains, New Jersey and Connecticut.
