DEXA scan, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, assesses bone density and body composition. X-rays measure mineral content in bones, important for osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk. In addition to bones, DEXA also shows fat and muscle percentage, for health assessment. Typically focuses on the back, hip or arm, with T-score for bone density.

Menopause is a period in every woman's life, an important period on a par with puberty/the first menstruation and pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding. The comparison is good, as the changes in the female body and mind are very large in all three periods. The periods are all very complex.

For women, hormonal balance is crucial throughout life. From puberty and the menstrual cycle to pregnancy and menopause, hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone affect a woman's reproductive function, mood, and overall health.
Menopause occurs between the ages of 45-55 for the vast majority of women, and is defined as the time when a woman has not had a period for one year. Menopause itself is one day! For Danish women, it occurs when they are around 52 years old, and lasts an average of 8 years.

Symptoms can appear several years before menstruation stops (peri-menopause) and continue after (post-menopause). Danish women take an average of eight years to go through menopause.

No two women experience their period in the same way. Symptoms can also change throughout the period. Menopause occurs when the production of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone first fluctuates, then decreases.

There are at least 36 symptoms associated with menopause, such as:

• Depression
• Sleep problems
• Bleeding disorders
• Low libido
• Mood swings
• Dry mucous membranes
• Weight gain
• Hot flashes
