Help protect women’s bone health.
Step One Select your constituency
Call on your local TD to support a fully funded DEXA screening programme for women over 50.
After menopause, falling oestrogen levels accelerate bone loss. Osteoporosis can develop silently, with a broken bone often the first warning. DEXA scans can detect low bone density early, helping guide treatment to reduce fracture risk and protect mobility and independence.
According to the Irish Osteoporosis Society:
Only an estimated 19% of people with bone loss are diagnosed.
90% of hip fractures are due to osteoporosis.
7 out of 10 hip fractures happen to women.
Early detection matters. A fully funded screening programme for women over 50 would help identify bone loss sooner and could reduce the personal and public costs of preventable fractures.
