I have never had one because the medical newsletter I used to get (for medical providers) stated that this test only samples a couple of places where most folks lose bone density first. In other words, if you flunk it you probably have osteoporosis but if you pass it, it's inconclusive because you still may be losing bone density though not in the couple of places they scan.
The good news is osteoporosis can be reversed or prevented by doing regular weight bearing exercise like walking a few times a week, and a 1200 mg calcium intake daily which is easily obtainable from milk or yogurt.
