However, medical experts warn that this figure is just the &#8220;tip of the iceberg.&#8221; Because <strong>bone scan<\/strong> screening rates in primary care remain low, millions more are likely living with the disease\u2014undiagnosed, untreated, and at high risk of a life-altering fracture.<\/p>\n<h2>The &#8220;Care Gap&#8221; Paradox: Why Your Bone Health Is Being Ignored<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps the most alarming statistic from the 2025 report is the persistence of the &#8220;Care Gap.&#8221; If you were to suffer a heart attack today, there is an <strong>80% chance<\/strong> you would receive medication to prevent a second one.
