Osteopenia is silently weakening bones in millions of people

Osteopenia is a common but often overlooked condition that causes bones to become less dense and more fragile.

Fortunately, exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D, and other healthy habits can slow or even partially reverse the decline.
