Osteopenia is a loss of bone mineral density (BMD) that weakens bones. It's more common in people older than 50, especially women. Osteopenia has no signs or symptoms, but a painless screening test can measure bone strength. Certain lifestyle changes can help you preserve bone density and prevent osteoporosis.

Osteopenia, preferably known as "low bone mass" or "low bone density", is a condition in which bone mineral density is low. Because their bones are weaker, people with osteopenia may have a higher risk of fractures, and some people may go on to develop osteoporosis.
If you have a lower than normal bone density score — between -1 and -2.5 — you have osteopenia. If you score is lower than -2.5, you may be diagnosed with osteoporosis....What are the key differences between osteopenia and osteoporosis?OsteopeniaOsteoporosisT score-1 to -2.5-2.5 and lowerAug 28, 2021
Bone mass and bone mineral density both decrease as people age. Osteopenia is a condition where people's bone density is lower than is usual for their age. Osteoporosis is a more severe case of bone loss that weakens the bones and makes them more likely to fracture.
