Osteopenia: Debates and Dilemmas

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2013
Whether or not to use pharmacologic agents for primary prevention of fracture among elderly men and women with osteopenia is debated by clinicians. In this review we provide an update to enable better understanding and characterization of this population, including the prevalence of osteopenia, transitioning from osteopenia to osteoporosis, and ...

Osteopenia and phenylketonuria

Pediatric Radiology, 1990
Trabecular bone mineral content was assessed by quantitative computed tomography in eleven young adults with phenylketonuria who had been treated from early childhood with a diet restricted in natural protein and supplemented with amino acids, minerals and vitamins. There was a significant reduction in the bone mineral content of patients compared with

Osteopenia

Disease-a-Month, 1987
Osteopenia in the elderly is responsible for 1.3 million fractures per year in the United States. The acute care costs associated with this disorder are between $6 and $10 billion dollars annually. Although much has been learned over the last few years of the factors that predispose patients to osteoporosis and how these factors may be avoided, the ...

Clinical calcium, 2005
Under the current diagnostic criteria for primary osteoporosis, patients are diagnosed as having osteopenia if their bone density is between 70 and 80% of the average bone density of young adult women.

Disuse Osteopenia

Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2010
It is not widely appreciated how deleterious prolonged periods of non-weight-bearing are to skeletal integrity. Rates of decline in humans exposed to prolonged spaceflight, for example, are about 10-fold greater than those observed in postmenopausal women and are associated with a significant loss of bone strength.

The Laboratory Evaluation of Osteopenia

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1984
Osteopenia is being increasingly recognized as an important cause of morbidity and mortality, and as the cause of a massive health care expense. This realization, and a much greater understanding of mineral and bone metabolism, has resulted in an increase in the sophistication of diagnostic methods.

Radiographic Appearance of Osteopenia

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1991
The radiographic appearance of bone is the result of two physiologic processes: the resorption of bone and the remodeling of bone in response to the stresses applied to it. The relative rates of these two processes will determine the structural and, therefore, the radiographic appearance of the affected bone.
