Is a decrease in bone density with bone loss, which supports the appearance of fractures, especially in individuals over 70 years and in women who have entered menopause.

Opinion 

 

The esteopenia, who suffered 15 percent of women aged between 30 and 40, is a silent disease characterized by decreased bone density between 1 and 2.5 points compared with the conventional indicators. esteopenia may be the beginning of osteoporosis because when bone density is lower than it would appear desable fracture risk, and then we can talk about Osteroporosis.
