Osentia® is the first clinically proven, safe and accurate
at-home test that can help identify your individual risk of
fragility fractures, a common sign of osteoporosis. Did you know
that our s start to age as we enter our mid-thirties? As a
result over the age of 50, one in two women and one in five men
will suffer a fracture due to fragile s. Fragile s are a
common sign that you may have osteoporosis. It’s a condition in
which your s lose their strength and are more likely to break
following a minor bump or fall. These breaks are known as
fragility fractures. Features Everyone has some risk of
developing osteoporosis, which is often undiagnosed until the
time you fracture a . It is therefore important to identify
the risk of osteoporosis early enough to take steps to help
prevent and minimise the development of the condition and reduce
the risk of fracture. The Osentia® at-home screening test only
requires a fingernail or toenail clipping measuring 2mm or more
in depth and 5mm in width to be sent for laboratory analysis. You
will also need to complete a test order form which includes
questions about your and lifestyle. The test will
accurately provide your personal risk of a fragility fracture,
which is an early indicator of your risk of developing
osteoporosis. The results will be returned to you via email or
post within seven days. Like a fingerprint your nail is unique.
Osentia® looks for changes in the nail structure, which correlate
with your risk of developing osteoporosis, providing you with a
personalised result. Your result is based on the personal
information you provide and the laboratory analysis of your
fingernail or toenail clipping. You will receive personalised
advice on how to reduce your risk of developing a fragility
fracture, through simple diet and lifestyle changes. Everyone who
completes the Osentia® test will be sent a tailored risk profile
and a copy of Understanding and Managing Osteoporosis Risk
Factors, a booklet packed with and lifestyle information
to help manage and minimize the risk of developing osteoporosis.
