Osteopenia

Osteopenia

Osteopenia refers to a condition characterized by lower than normal bone mineral density but not to the extent seen in osteoporosis. It is considered a precursor to osteoporosis and signifies reduced bone density that is below the average for one's age. Osteopenia often results from an imbalance between bone formation and resorption, typically associated with aging, hormonal changes, inadequate calcium and vitamin D intake, or certain medications. While osteopenia itself may not cause symptoms, it increases the risk of fractures and is a signal to assess and address potential bone health issues. Lifestyle modifications such as a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, weight-bearing exercises, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol can help manage osteopenia. In some cases, medications may be prescribed to enhance bone density. Regular monitoring and early intervention are crucial to prevent progression to osteoporosis and reduce the risk of fractures associated with compromised bone density.
