Regular measurements of bone density through lab tests like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans can be recorded to evaluate the progression of osteoporosis and the effectiveness of treatments. Additionally, the health journal can document the medications and supplements they are taking to improve bone health, as well as any procedures or interventions recommended by their healthcare provider.
