I had my first bone density test today. A recent check of my vitamin D says it's below normal, a surprise since I am outdoors a lot on the bike or in the garden or walking, and I never put sunscreen on my legs. However, until I retired last year I worked for years in a windowless building... I wonder if it's possible my D was even lower before I retired and has since gone up due to being outdoors more often.

My mom has osteoporosis (severe in her lumbar spine). It may take 15 days to get the results, but my attitude is I either have it or I don't -- if I don't that's great, and if I do I'll start doing more high-impact exercise.
