Abstract
Description
Osteopenia is a silent bone disease that causes bones to become porous, brittle or fragile, which increases the risk of fracture. Both men and women can get osteopenia, particularly after menopause women are at higher risk
Usually, osteopenia does not reverse, but with the proper treatment, the bone density can stabilize and the risk for a bone fracture improves.
