If you’re concerned about bone loss, you have probably heard about osteopenia.

Sounds serious—but is it?

Our new in-depth guide takes a close look at osteopenia— and provides expert advice to help you prevent bone loss.

What You Should Know About Osteopenia

From the experts at The Johns Hopkins Metabolic Bone Center

Osteopenia refers to bone density values that are low, but still above the bone density value that is deemed to be osteoporosis -- the bone-thinning disease that each year results in 1.5 million fractures.

You may have heard that osteopenia is “pre-osteoporosis” -- a precursor to osteoporosis. So if you’re among the estimated 34 million Americans -- many of them women in early middle age -- with bone density defined as osteopenia, it’s understandable that you’re wondering what steps you should take to restore and maintain bone health.

Should you be tested for osteopenia? And if so, what should that testing entail? How good an indicator is a bone density score for your risk of developing osteoporosis and suffering a serious fracture? Should everyone with low bone density be treated to ward off osteoporosis? If not, who needs treatment and who can skip it?

These are just a few of the issues about bone loss -- and specifically about osteopenia -- that we address in our important new report, What You Should Know About Osteopenia.

• To help you, we have turned to Deborah Sellmeyer, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and an internationally recognized expert on osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases.
• Dr. Sellmeyer is ideally positioned to help you understand and manage your condition and to avoid further bone loss. Medical Director of The Johns Hopkins Metabolic Bone Center, Dr. Sellmeyer is currently conducting research on the role of nutrition and environmental factors in bone health.

Are you at risk of a fracture because of low bone density?
If so, what can you do to reduce your risk as much as possible?

What You Should Know About Osteopenia provides the latest thinking on the causes of bone loss and explores, in depth, the current debate over who should be treated for low bone density -- and what treatment should consist of.

You’ll learn about healthy bone development … the process of bone turnover … the factors that increase your chances of developing osteoporosis … the most effective non-drug measures to prevent or reduce bone loss … and much more.

We explain:

• The process of bone remodeling as old bone is broken down and new bone is formed.
• Risk factors for loss of bone density.
• The role of family history in determining susceptibility to osteoporosis.
• Key medical causes of bone loss.
• How proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec may contribute to fracture risk.

And we answer important questions about assessing your bone health:

• What’s the best technique for measuring bone density?
• How does dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) work?
• Why is DXA so valuable in diagnosing osteoporosis?
• What’s the relationship between menopause and bone loss?
• Should men undergo BMD testing?
• How are BMD scores quantified?
• Why is it important to have your bone scans done at the same place and one the same machine?
• What’s the relationship between a person’s T-score and risk of fractures?
• What is the new web-based tool known as FRAX—and how is it helpful?

Bone Loss Is NOT an Inevitable Part of the Aging Process

In What You Should Know About Osteopenia, Dr. Sellmeyer explains why osteopenia is not a disease -- why it’s important to focus on fracture risk -- and how to build bone strength with exercise, including weight-bearing aerobic exercise, resistance training, and balance exercises. And she provides nutritional strategies for maintaining strong bones, including the very latest recommendations for your daily intake of calcium and vitamin D -- the two most essential nutrients for bone health.

Are you getting enough calcium in your daily diet? Is there such a thing as taking too much calcium and vitamin D? How can you get enough calcium if you don’t eat dairy? What should you do if you are lactose intolerant? How can vegans eat a bone-healthy diet? What are the best nondairy sources of calcium? You’ll learn the answers to these and other crucial questions about optimal nutrition for bone health in What You Should Know About Osteopenia.

Any decision about whether to take prescription medication for bone loss is an individual decision you will make with your doctor. But you’ll learn about the medications available for osteoporosis, including a new drug, denosumab (Prolia), that has been shown to reduce spine and hip fractures in postmenopausal women with a high risk for fracture. And Dr. Sellmeyer explains the latest thinking on hormone therapy, or HT, for preventing bone loss.
