Explanation:
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.
