English term or phrase: osteopenia

Osteopenia is a thinning of the bones, but less than is seen with osteoporosis -- it is the stage before true osteoporosis. Bone density is described in relationship to what it should be in young women; it is expressed as a standard deviation from the mean (average) bone density in a 35-year-old. Within 1 standard deviation of the mean in either direction is considered normal. A bone density within the range of 1 to 2.5 standard deviations below the mean is defined as osteopenia, and greater than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean is osteoporosis.

"¿Qué es la osteopenia?

Puede decirse que la osteopenia es un estado óseo previo a la osteoporosis, las personas que presentan osteopenia, se encuentra en riesgo de desarrollar osteoporosis si no se toman medidas adecuadas para evitar llegar a este estado.

La osteopenia es un término utilizado también, para referirse a la pérdida del calcio en los huesos. Pero a diferencia de la osteoporosis, en la osteopenia el grado de pérdida de calcio o masa ósea de los huesos es menor, es decir la afección es menos severa."
