You could request for bone mineral density test (BMD). it means the hip and the spine density. It tends to occur in the elderly and the major problem is getting a fracture.

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones. They thin out and can break
easily. I was diagnosed quite a few years ago and take Actonel 35 one
day a week. My Dr. asked if I ever broke bones and I gave him a long list
of broken bones. He sent me for a bone density which told the whole
story. I have a new Dr. and she is just great and has helped me a lot.
Sneezing and coughing can break bones. I would check the internet--
