Detailed explanation-1: -Bone density that is between 1 and 2.5 SD below the mean is called osteopenia. A person with osteopenia does not yet have osteoporosis but is at risk of developing it if not treated. Osteoporosis is defined as a BMD 2.5 or more SD below the mean of normal young women.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osteopenia is a condition that begins as you lose bone mass and your bones get weaker. This happens when the inside of your bones become brittle from a loss of calcium. It’s very common as you age. Total bone mass peaks around age 35.
Detailed explanation-3: -(OS-tee-oh-PEE-nee-uh) A condition in which there is a lower-than-normal bone mass or bone mineral density (the amount of bone mineral contained in a certain amount of bone).
Detailed explanation-4: -Osteopenia (low bone mass) is not a disease. A person may have low bone mass at any age but not develop osteoporosis. However, if a person has low bone mass and continues to lose bone density, this may lead to osteoporosis.
Detailed explanation-5: -Osteopenia is a loss of bone mass or bone mineral density. It is the stage before osteoporosis, and without treatment, it can progress to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis happens when bone mineral density and bone mass decrease even further or when there are structural changes to bone tissue.
