Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Osteopenia is a condition characterised by the loss of bone mineral density (BMD). However this loss of BMD is not as severe as it is in the case of osteoporosis. By deduction osteopenia is often called a severe precursor for the development of osteoporosis.
This however is not always the case, a person can be diagnosed with osteopenia but will not always develop osteoporosis. With this in mind osteopenia should in stead be characterised as a severe risk factor for developing osteoporosis and be treated as such.
