Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bone mass continues to accumulate until around age 30. [9, 10] At that point, bones reach their maximum strength and density, known as peak bone mass. Women tend to experience minimal change in total bone mass between age 30 and menopause.
Detailed explanation-2: -If initial bone density testing shows you have a T-score of-2.00 to-2.49 at any site, or if you take medications that decrease bone density, or have medical conditions that can adversely affect the bones, experts recommend repeat bone density testing every two years.
