Know Your Bones FAQs

Know Your Bones is a joint initiative of Healthy Bones Australia and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. It is an online bone health self-assessment generating a report explaining your risk results and personalised recommendations.
There is a lot that can be done to manage your bone health if you are found to have osteoporosis. This includes effective treatments to reduce your risk of having a fracture.
Your results will identify any potential risk factors based on your answers. A report provides recommendations for any areas of risk identified which can be discussed with your doctor.
A fracture and broken bone are essentially the same thing. The word fracture is a term used by medical professionals. A fracture can be a partial or complete break in a bone.
Bone health is an important part of your general health. Osteoporosis is common in Australia and results in over 183,000 fractures (broken bones) annually. People with risk factors for osteoporosis should be investigated by their doctor. Know Your Bones can help you understand your risk.
If you have risk factors for osteoporosis your doctor should refer you for a bone density test – a simple scan that indicates if bones are in the range of normal, low bone density (osteopenia) or osteoporosis. If required, your doctor can work with you to take action to improve your bone health. A broken bone can be a first signal of osteoporosis and requires urgent investigation.
