Osteopenia is a common but often unnoticed condition where bone density diminishes, making bones more fragile and prone to fractures. It rarely causes symptoms early on, so many remain unaware they have it.
Major contributors include aging, menopause, poor nutrition, and lack of regular physical activity. These factors accelerate bone loss and increase vulnerability.
Adopting healthy lifestyle habits—such as consistent exercise and adequate calcium and vitamin D intake—can slow bone density loss and partially reverse its impacts, reducing fracture risk.
