How can bone health be assessed in children?

Bone health can be assessed through:
- Medical History and Physical Examination: A thorough history and physical exam can provide initial clues about a child's bone health.
- Bone Density Tests: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans measure bone density and can help diagnose conditions like osteoporosis.
- Blood Tests: These can check levels of calcium, vitamin D, and other markers of bone health.
- X-rays: These can identify bone deformities, fractures, or other abnormalities.
