The World Health Organization defines osteopenia as bone mineral density (BMD) at one or more sites 1–2.49 standard deviations below that of a healthy white female reference group (T-score –1 to –2.49) [ 1 ]. Prevalence Approximately 33.6 million U.S. adults were osteopenic in 2002, ...
Osteopenia and osteoporosis can be diagnosed with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning, distinguishing osteopenia (T score − 1 to − 2.5 SD) and osteoporosis (T score < − 2.5 SD) according to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition [33]. Table 4 shows that epilepsy...

Osteopenia is a term to define bone density that is not normal but also not as low as osteoporosis. By definition from the World Health Organization osteopenia is defined by bone densitometry as a T score 1 to 2.5. There are many causes for osteopenia including calcium and vitamin D deficienc...
Let’s start with a definition of terms. Osteopenia refers to a decrease in bone mineral density below normal reference values, yet not low enough to meet the diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis. Clinicians assess bone mineral density using a T score, which is a numerical value determined by ...
2.3. Definition of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia Bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and distal radius were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry using a Discovery system (Hologic Japan, Tokyo, Japan) in three centers, Horizon system (Hologic Japan, Tokyo, Japan...
68 prefrail adults between 65 and 94 years were assigned to four groups according to mean DXA results: osteosarcopenic [low T-score and low appendicular lean mass (aLM)], sarcopenic (low aLM), osteopenic (low T-score), and controls. Multiple linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, ...
A definition for osteoporosis and osteopenia was reported in 14 of the 15 publications, with most publications (n=11) defining osteoporosis and osteopenia according to the Japanese diagnostic criteria year 2000 revision43 (Table 1). BMD Findings for BMD were reported in eleven of the 15 pub- ...
Thus, we conclude that at least in community-dwelling men 72 years and older with Sarcopenia according to the EWGSOP-I definition there is no relevantly increased risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis. However, it is doubtful whether this result can be transferred to corresponding older women or ...
