Reduced bone mass due to a decrease in the rate of osteoid synthesis to a level insufficient to compensate for normal bone lysis. It is considered a serious risk factor for the development of osteoporosis.
Reduction in bone mass, usually caused by a lowered rate of formation of new bone that is insufficient to keep up with the rate of bone destruction.
bones that have a bone marrow density that is lower than normal but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis.
Decreased calcification or density of bone.
A condition of decreased bone mineral density (BMD), defined as a T-score of -1 to -2.5 which means a BMD value greater than one standard deviation (SD) below (but not >2.5 SD below) the values for normal young adults.
Thinning of the bones or low levels of bone calcium. A woman is diagnosed with osteopenia by a bone density test. Treatment includes increasing calcium and vitamin D intake and performing regular weight-bearing and resistance exercises to prevent it from progressing to osteoporosis.
A significant decrease in the amount of bone mineral density (BMD) normally found in a population or group. The World Health Organization specifies that when BMD is between 1 and 2.5 standard deviations below normal, osteopenia exists. Decreases in BMD that exceed 2.5 standard deviations below normal are called osteoporosis.

A decrease in bone mass resulting from an inadequate rate of new bone formation, which fails to match the pace of bone degradation.
Osteopenia signifies a reduction in bone mass below the customary level. This expression is primarily employed to denote a decrease in mass that arises when the body generates insufficient new bone to counterbalance the typical bone breakdown. Osteopenia can manifest throughout the entire skeletal framework or might be localized to a specific region, such as the bones near an afflicted or impaired joint.
