GlossaryOsteopenia

condition of reduced bone mineral density, less severe than osteoporosis

Osteopenia is a condition characterized by lower than normal bone mineral density, which is not as severe as osteoporosis but indicates a higher risk of fractures. It often serves as a warning sign that one may develop osteoporosis if preventive measures, such as diet, exercise, and sometimes medication, are not taken.
