What can cause Osteopenia?
• It is quite natural for the bones to gradually become weak as and how a person grows old, the process of which starts from the early middle age since the body reabsorbs the existing bones faster than the new bones are made. The bones by and by lose the minerals, the heaviness and the structure thus resulting to the bone growing weaker. As the bone grows weaker it is prone to break faster. People who have a low Bone mineral density should be more careful and get themselves checked at regular intervals. • Everybody starts losing their bone mineral density after reaching the climactic age of thirty but then if at that point in time your bones are thick you are safe and if they are weak, you are an easy victim of Osteopenia. There are cases wherein the patient does have Osteopenia but does not suffer from bone loss; this happens when the patient naturally has weak bones. • Osteopenia can also be caused due to some condition or as a disease or even a treatment of a disease can cause it. •
