Brief Answer:
No need to worry about your bone health

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is by an obsolete method called ultrasound method, which can only be used best for the screening of suspected age group.

I would suggest that you get DEXA bone scan if you have bone pains, fractures, etc., but at your age Bone densitometry is generally not required.

I would rather suggest you get your vitamin D3 level checked. If it is low then get vitamin D supplementation regularly.

Best way to strengthen your bones is by regular exercises only. Milk and its products are the best natural source of calcium. Again at this age (24), I would not advise any calcium supplements.

I hope to have cleared your doubts.

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
