I have been big and I have been small. Gone both way several times over the years depending on what I am doing. The scan is a great tool to know if there are underlying issues. This allows you to fix them before you get injured.

I am currently 165 down from 198 last year. I have been as big as 220 bulked. I have lifted on and off most of my life. The cycling thing is not my thing but I needed to shift towards more cardio activities and my family rides.

in the end the prescribed life changes if the scan comes back bad are going to be beneficial even if your scan comes back great. Balanced nutrition with proper vitamins and mineral sups. Resistance training once to twice a week focused on volume and core movements. Cycle when you want.

What I am saying is you don’t need the scan to benefit from the lifestyle you would need if the scan comes back with bone loss. Personally I would get a scan at 70 if it’s affordable. Knowing things is not usually bad and leads to better health.
