Supporting Bone Health for Over 45s

Could you be at risk of osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is often called the "silent disease" — bone loss occurs without symptoms until a fracture happens. The good news is that a simple, non-invasive DEXA scan can reveal your risk years before a fracture occurs.

A bone health scan is recommended if you:

  • Are a woman approaching or going through menopause
  • Have a family history of osteoporosis or fractures
  • Are over 50 and want to know your baseline bone health
  • Are monitoring bone density while on HRT
  • Have been told you may have osteopenia
  • Face long NHS waiting times for bone density testing

Gold-Standard Bone Density Testing

Accurate T-Score & Z-Score data — what you'll receive.

Our DEXA scans measure bone mineral density at the spine and hip — the two most clinically important sites for detecting osteoporosis and assessing fracture risk.

You'll receive a detailed report including your T-Score (bone density vs. peak young-adult strength) and Z-Score (bone density vs. others your age). Together, these provide a medically meaningful picture of your bone health.

Our highly trained consultants walk you through your results and offer tailored recommendations — whether that's lifestyle changes, further monitoring, or a conversation with your GP.

Unlike a standard X-ray or blood test, DEXA is the only validated method for accurately measuring bone mineral density and calculating your personal fracture risk score.

I had my first ever DEXA scan today at BodyView's Bristol branch and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Lilly was fantastic throughout the appointment. She was welcoming, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly before, during, and after the scan. She made the whole process feel relaxed and comfortable, and was happy to answer all of my questions in detail. The scan itself was quick, straightforward, and surprisingly easy. What impressed me most was the detailed explanation of the results afterwards. The report itself was extremely informative and comprehensive, providing a wealth of information about body composition, muscle mass, body fat distribution, bone density, and much more. Rather than simply handing over a report, Lilly walked me through everything, helping me understand the data and what it means in practical terms. The facilities were spotless and maintained to a very high standard, which added to the overall positive experience. If you're considering a DEXA scan, I would highly recommend BodyView Bristol. The service was professional, informative, and genuinely enjoyable. I'll definitely be returning in the future for a progress scan.

I had a DEXA body composition and bone scan with Rob at BodyScan and found the whole experience extremely valuable. Rob clearly knows his stuff. He interpreted the data with real clarity and confidence, and explained everything in a way that felt relevant to me rather than just reading numbers from a screen. I’m not an athlete. I simply wanted to benchmark my health properly and understand what was actually going on beyond weight and BMI, which don’t really tell you anything meaningful. Both scans gave me clear, accurate data and, more importantly, explained with practical context I can actually use - and will. We talked through the results straight away and I had plenty of opportunity to ask questions. I left with a detailed printed report and later received a PDF by email, which has made it easy to reflect on everything afterwards. The clinic was accessible, efficient and good value for money. In fact, it was worth every penny. Being my first scan I've realised that accuracy is essential to my goals and there's simply no comparison to consumer smart scales, which don't always estimate health markers accurately and personally were sending me in a different direction. I’m genuinely delighted I came across BodyScan. Having this kind of insightful health data allows you to take a considered and pragmatic approach to your long-term health, and I think many more people could benefit from it. Thank you Rob and the team.

I had a lovely gentleman name james he was very kind and made me feel welcome explain all what he was doing today and explain in detail of my bone scan and results aswell

Vicky Barnsley

Had my DEXA scan done at BodyView and was really impressed with the whole experience. Jack was great – explained everything clearly and made the process straightforward. The scan itself was quick, and the level of detail in the results was way beyond what I expected. It breaks down fat, muscle and bone in a way that’s actually useful if you train or just want to understand what’s really going on with your body. The follow-up report was clear, easy to read and gave me a few things to focus on over the next few months. Would definitely recommend BodyView if you’re looking for proper, data-driven insight rather than guesswork.

Adam Lee

I recently had a DEXA body and bone scan at BodyView in Bristol. Lilly welcomed me and conducted the scan with a high level of professionalism, taking time to explain the procedure in detail. The session was extremely informative and I found Lilly to have a vast knowledge of body composition and bone health. Having the data explained clearly, helped me see exactly what to focus on for my health goals. I highly recommend this service.

Clara C

Sean was excellent at explaining the report, its implications and what I can do to improve. I would highly recommend having the scan to aid understanding of your body composition and bone density.

Women's Health & Longevity

Menopause and bone health: what every woman should know.

During menopause, declining oestrogen levels cause bone to break down faster than it can rebuild. Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the five to seven years following menopause — often without any symptoms.

A DEXA scan provides an accurate baseline, giving you the data to make informed decisions about HRT, diet, exercise and supplementation before problems develop.

1 in 3 women will experience a fracture due to osteoporosis after the age of 65. A simple 15-minute scan today could protect your mobility and independence for decades to come.
