Your doctor may prescribe medications for osteoporosis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the following medications for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis:

Estrogen and hormone therapy. Estrogen and combined estrogen and progestin (hormone therapy) are approved to prevent osteoporosis and fractures in postmenopausal women.

It is important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of estrogen and hormone therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth approved the change at the request of Grinston, following preliminary findings of the Army Comprehensive Body Composition Study, which was initiated by Army senior leaders in 2021.

If you have questions about your medications, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Your doctor will compare your BMD test results to the average bone density of young, healthy people and to the average bone density of other people of your age, sex, and race. If your BMD is below a certain level, you will be diagnosed with osteoporosis and your doctor may recommend both lifestyle approaches to promote bone health and medications to lower your chance of breaking a bone. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) analog and parathyroid hormone related-protein (PTHrP) analog. PTH is a form of human parathyroid hormone that increases bone mass and is approved for postmenopausal women and men with osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture. PTHrP is a medication that is also a form of parathyroid hormone. It is an injection and is usually prescribed for postmenopausal women who have severe osteoporosis and a history of multiple fractures. There are different methods for calculating and estimating body fat, as described in our calculators for body fat percentage and fat-free body mass (mistaken with lean body mass). This particular calculator implements the U.S. Army method, used by the Department of Defense [1][2] to vet applicants for enrollment in the military, and during assessment of current staff. It is officially referred to as the "Army body fat circumference-based tape assessment". Should a Soldier fail both versions of the tape test, they may request a supplemental body fat assessment via the DXA, InBody 770 or The Bod Pod®, if reasonably available. If a Soldier does not request a supplemental body fat assessment or fails the assessment, they will be referred to the Army Weight Control Program.
