All subjects undergoing health checkups are reminded that even though screenings can effectively diagnose a disease in advance and reduce its threat to your health, all examination items and medical instrument-based screenings do not have full sensitivity to various diseases. In addition, due to the diversity of the individual characteristics and health statuses of subjects, it is impossible to fully diagnose every disease.

Furthermore, after receiving a checkup, it is recommended that you receive follow-ups or treatment according to the doctor's recommendations, adjust your daily lifestyle, and avoid risk factors that may affect your health, so as to achieve the fullest potential of healthcare management and preventive medicine.

• Aim of examination: Even though patients with osteoporosis are often asymptomatic, they are susceptible to fracture, which is why osteoporosis is regarded as an invisible killer. Therefore, the early diagnosis and prevention of osteoporosis is crucial. Our bone health examination package allows you to understand the health of your bones, and our professionals will offer you guidance to improve your bone health.
• The examinations include: Relevant blood tests, bone mineral density test, spinal X-ray, and ten-year risk of fracture assessment.

Description of blood tests

1. Renal function (BUN, Cre): Severe renal function abnormalities may result in secondary osteoporosis.
2. Liver function (AST, ALT): Severe liver function abnormalities may result in secondary osteoporosis.
3. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): Mainly produced through liver and bone metabolism. Elevated ALP levels may indicate an overly fast bone metabolism, which accelerates the loss of bone mass.
4. Hyperthyroidism (Free T4, TSH): The presence of hyperthyroidism will accelerate the loss of bone mass.
5. Intact parathyroid hormone (i-PTH): i-PTH regulates the level of calcium and phosphate ions in the body, and elevated levels may accelerate the loss of bone mass.
6. Vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D): Enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphate and the formation of bone mass. A lack of vitamin D may affect bone health.

Bone mineral density (hip bone and lumbar vertebrae)

Can be used to assess the health condition of the bones, determine the presence of bone mass loss, diagnose osteoporosis, and determine the efficiency of treatments for osteoporosis.

Cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, and lumbar vertebrae X-ray examinations

Examines the parts susceptible to spinal degeneration and osteoporosis-induced fracture, including the cervical vertebrae, lower thoracic vertebrae, and lumbar vertebrae.
